Simulating optical coherence tomography for observing nerve activity: a finite difference time domain bi-dimensional model [PDF]
PLOS ONE 2018, 13, 1-14, 2017 We present a finite difference time domain (FDTD) model for computation of A line scans in time domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). By simulating only the end of the two arms of the interferometer and computing the interference signal in post processing, it is possible to reduce the computational time required by the simulations and, thus, to ...

Extracting morphometric information from rat sciatic nerve using optical coherence tomography [PDF]
Hope, J., Braeuer, B., Amirapu, S., McDaid, A., & Vanholsbeeck, F.
(2018). Extracting morphometric information from rat sciatic nerve using
optical coherence tomography. Journal of biomedical optics, 23 (11), 1-14, 2018 We apply three optical coherence tomography (OCT) image analysis techniques to extract morphometric information from OCT images obtained on peripheral nerves of rat. The accuracy of each technique is evaluated against histological measurements accurate to +/-1 um. The three OCT techniques are: 1) average depth resolved profile (ADRP); 2) autoregressive

The influence of BACE1 on macrophage recruitment and activity in the injured peripheral nerve
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021 Following peripheral nerve injury, multiple cell types, including axons, Schwann cells, and macrophages, coordinate to promote nerve regeneration. However, this capacity for repair is limited, particularly in older populations, and current treatments are

Peripheral nerve regeneration and intraneural revascularization
Neural Regeneration Research, 2019 Peripheral nerves are particularly vulnerable to injuries and are involved in numerous pathologies for which specific treatments are lacking. This review summarizes the pathophysiological features of the most common traumatic nerve injury in humans and ...

Advances in 3D printing scaffolds for peripheral nerve and spinal cord injury repair
International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, 2023 Because of the complex nerve anatomy and limited regeneration ability of natural tissue, the current treatment effect for long-distance peripheral nerve regeneration and spinal cord injury (SCI) repair is not satisfactory.

Liquid Metal as Connecting or Functional Recovery Channel for the Transected Sciatic Nerve [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 In this article, the liquid metal GaInSn alloy (67% Ga, 20.5% In, and 12.5% Sn by volume) is proposed for the first time to repair the peripheral neurotmesis as connecting or functional recovery channel. Such material owns a group of unique merits in many aspects, such as favorable fluidity, super compliance, high electrical conductivity, which are ...

Bioadhesive Graft-Antenna for Stimulation and Repair of Peripheral Nerves [PDF]
arXiv, 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).
