A handcrafted multi-branch nerve scaffold for in vivo peripheral nerve regeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Arm and leg peripheral nerve injuries contribute largely to functional disability. These injuries seldom affect a single-line nerve; rather the injury goes beyond and disrupts the nerve tissue across multiple nerve paths.

The homuncular jigsaw: investigations of phantom limb and body awareness following brachial plexus block or avulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Many neuropsychological theories agree that the brain maintains a relatively persistent representation of one's own body, as indicated by vivid "phantom" experiences.

Analysis of upper and lower extremity peripheral nerve injuries in a population of patients with multiple injuries.

open access: yesJournal of Trauma, 1998
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, cause, severity, and patterns of associated injuries of limb peripheral nerve injuries sustained by patients with multiple injuries seen at a regional Level 1 trauma center.

Organoid‐Like Neurovascular Spheroids Promote the Recovery of Hypoxic‐Ischemic Skin Flaps Through the Activation of Autophagy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Highly sprouting organoid‐like neurovascular spheroids (NVUs) are developed, featuring cell‐loaded poly‐3‐hydroxybutyrate 4‐hydroxybutyrate(P34HB) porous microsphere cores embedded within Gelatin Methacryloyl. NVUs formed complex vascular plexuses and secreted extracellular matrix in vitro, simulating autologous nerves and blood interaction.

Bioadhesive Graft-Antenna for Stimulation and Repair of Peripheral Nerves [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Peripheral nerve injuries are difficult to treat due to limited axon regeneration; brief electrical stimulation of injured nerves is an emerging therapy that can relieve pain and enhance regeneration. We report an original wireless stimulator based on a metal loop (diameter ~1 mm) that is powered by a transcranial magnetic stimulator (TMS).

Controlled Magnesium Ion Delivery via Mg‐Sputtered Nerve Conduit for Enhancing Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a controllable degradation system for Mg‐based biomaterials using sputtering technology, marking a significant advancement in nerve regeneration research. The Mg‐sputtered nerve conduits demonstrate enhanced biocompatibility, biofunctionality, mechanical compatibility, and precise magnesium release, resulting in improved axonal ...

Motion Browser: Visualizing and Understanding Complex Upper Limb Movement Under Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Injuries [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
The brachial plexus is a complex network of peripheral nerves that enables sensing from and control of the movements of the arms and hand. Nowadays, the coordination between the muscles to generate simple movements is still not well understood, hindering the knowledge of how to best treat patients with this type of peripheral nerve injury.

Engineered Chitosan‐Derived Nanocarrier for Efficient siRNA Delivery to Peripheral and Central Neurons

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel chitosan‐based nanocarrier functionalized with a neurotropic protein for efficient siRNA delivery to neurons. The polyplexes demonstrate enhanced neuronal binding, retrograde transport, and PTEN silencing, promoting axonal outgrowth.

Peripheral Nerve Injury and Current Treatment Strategies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Neuronal cells are the main fundamental anatomic unit of the system. Nerve injuries are generally divided into three categories as neuropraxia, axonotmesis and neurotmesis. Neurotmesis is the most severe form.
