An organized 3D in vitro model for peripheral nerve studies [PDF]
Three-dimensional cell cultures have been proposed to address the limitations in two-dimensional cell cultures (i.e. lack of relevant architectural features) and very few have developed 3D cell culture methods for peripheral nerve studies. Therefore, the

Preclinical study of peripheral nerve regeneration using nerve guidance conduits based on polyhydroxyalkanaotes [PDF]
Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are used as an alternative to the “gold standard” nerve autografting, preventing the need for surgical intervention required to harvest autologous nerves.

Willin, an upstream component of the Hippo signaling pathway, orchestrates mammalian peripheral nerve fibroblasts [PDF]
Willin/FRMD6 was first identified in the rat sciatic nerve, which is composed of neurons, Schwann cells, and fibroblasts. Willin is an upstream component of the Hippo signaling pathway, which results in the inactivation of the transcriptional coactivator

Medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates as potential matrix materials for peripheral nerve regeneration [PDF]
Polyhydroxyalkanoates are natural, biodegradable, thermoplastic and sustainable polymers with a huge potential in fabrication of bioresorbable implantable devices for tissue engineering.

Microglial responses around intrinsic CNS neurons are correlated with axonal regeneration [PDF]
Background: Microglia/macrophages and lymphocytes (T-cells) accumulate around motor and primary sensory neurons that are regenerating axons but there is little or no microglial activation or T-cell accumulation around axotomised intrinsic CNS neurons ...

c-Jun reprograms Schwann cells of injured nerves to generate a repair cell essential for regeneration. [PDF]
The radical response of peripheral nerves to injury (Wallerian degeneration) is the cornerstone of nerve repair. We show that activation of the transcription factor c-Jun in Schwann cells is a global regulator of Wallerian degeneration.

A Microenvironment-Adaptive Scaffold Rejuvenates Peripheral Nerve Regeneration During Aging Via Dual Modulation of Ferroptotic Stimuli in Schwann Cells. [PDF]
(i) Aging impairs peripheral nerve regeneration via its dual ferroptosis‐mediated pathologies in senescent schwann cells. (ii) The composite nerve conduit is a symbiosis niche integrating microenvironment‐responsive nanoparticles (Ga‐PTAs) and maxillofacial‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (Mmscs).

Mice lacking protease nexin-1 show delayed structural and functional recovery after sciatic nerve crush [PDF]
Multiple molecular mechanisms influence nerve regeneration. Because serine proteases were shown to affect peripheral nerve regeneration, we performed nerve crush experiments to study synapse reinnervation in adult mice lacking the serpin protease nexin-1

ATF3 upregulation in glia during Wallerian degeneration: differential expression in peripheral nerves and CNS white matter [PDF]
Background: Many changes in gene expression occur in distal stumps of injured nerves but the transcriptional control of these events is poorly understood.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
