Approaches for Neural Tissue Regeneration

Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2013
There is currently no treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases. While spinal cord injury has no treatment either, nerve injuries are being treated with autologous grafts, a procedure that in turn translates into a loss of function in the donor area.

Conductive Composite Fiber with Optimized Alignment Guides Neural Regeneration under Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2020
Conductivity and alignment of scaffolds are two primary factors influencing the efficacy of nerve repair. Herein, conductive composite fibers composed of poly(ɛ‐caprolactone) (PCL) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different orientation degrees are ...

The Molecular Basis of Neural Regeneration

Neurosurgery, 2003
THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) is incapable of meaningful regeneration of lost neurons or axonal and dendritic connections after injury. This often results in permanent and severe loss of neurological function. The CNS regenerative process is unsuccessful for at least three reasons: neurons are highly susceptible to death after CNS injury; the CNS ...

Peripheral Nerve Regeneration with 3D Printed Bionic Scaffolds Loading Neural Crest Stem Cell Derived Schwann Cell Progenitors

Advanced Functional Materials, 2021
Peripheral nerve injuries are one of the most common types of traumatic damage to the nervous system. Treatment of peripheral nerve injuries aims to promote axon regrowth by imitating and improving the microenvironment for sciatic nerve regeneration.

Neural ECM in regeneration and rehabilitation

2014
Neural extracellular matrix (ECM) is different from the normal ECM in other organs in that it has low fibrous protein content and high carbohydrate content. One of the key carbohydrate components in the brain ECM is chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs).

Neural regeneration in gastropod molluscs

Progress in Neurobiology, 1995
Snails recover function following a variety of neural injuries. They grow new tentacles with associated tentacle ganglia, selectively reinnervate peripheral targets, repair central connections and may even replace lost neurons and ganglia. The plasticity revealed in their responses to neural injury is an extreme expression of the adaptability observed ...

How the Neural Retina Regenerates

2000
The rules that govern cellular behavior during development and regeneration of tissues are complex and enigmatic, but substantial progress is being made toward understanding the molecular basis of proliferation and differentiation. Although most of the recent mechanistic insights have been gained from studies of embryonic development, the capacity of ...

Extracellular Matrix in Neural Plasticity and Regeneration

Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 2020
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a fundamental component of biological tissues. The ECM in the central nervous system (CNS) is unique in both composition and function. Functions such as learning, memory, synaptogenesis, and plasticity are regulated by numerous ECM molecules.

A regenerating spiking neural network

Neural Networks, 2005
Due to their distributed architecture, artificial neural networks often show a graceful performance degradation to the loss of few units or connections. Living systems also display an additional source of fault-tolerance obtained through distributed processes of self-healing: defective components are actively regenerated.

Efficient Delivery of Nerve Growth Factors to the Central Nervous System for Neural Regeneration

Advances in Materials, 2019
The central nervous system (CNS) plays a central role in the control of sensory and motor functions, and the disruption of its barriers can result in severe and debilitating neurological disorders.
