Antagonism of the prokineticin system prevents and reverses allodynia and inflammation in a mouse model of diabetes [PDF]
, 2016 Neuropathic pain is a severe diabetes complication and its treatment is not satisfactory. It is associated with neuroinflammation-related events that participate in pain generation and chronicization. Prokineticins are a new family of chemokines that has

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
, 2002 Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

Drive and measurement electrode patterns for electrode impedance tomography (EIT) imaging of neural activity in peripheral nerve [PDF]
Hope, J., Vanholsbeeck, F., & McDaid, A. (2018). Drive and
measurement electrode patterns for electrode impedance tomography (EIT)
imaging of neural activity in peripheral nerve. Biomedical Physics and
Engineering Express, 4 (6), 2018 Objective: To establish the performance of several drive and measurement patterns in EIT imaging of neural activity in peripheral nerve, which involves large impedance change in the nerve's anisotropic length axis. Approach: Eight drive and measurement electrode patterns are compared using a finite element (FE) four cylindrical shell model of a ...

The Importance of Peripheral Nerves in Adipose Tissue for the Regulation of Energy Balance
Biology, 2019 Brown and white adipose tissues are essential for maintenance of proper energy balance and metabolic health. In order to function efficiently, these tissues require both endocrine and neural communication with the brain.

Spotlight on nerves: Portable multispectral optoacoustic imaging of peripheral nerve vascularization and morphology [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Various morphological and functional parameters of peripheral nerves and their vascular supply are indicative of pathological changes due to injury or disease. Based on recent improvements in optoacoustic image quality, we explore the ability of multispectral optoacoustic tomography, in tandem with ultrasound imaging (OPUS), to investigate the vascular

A model of electrical impedance tomography on peripheral nerves for a neural-prosthetic control interface [PDF]
Hope, J., Vanholsbeeck, F., McDaid, A., A model of electrical
impedance tomography implemented in nerve-cuff for neural-prosthetics
control. Physiological Measurement, 2018, 2017 Objective: A model is presented to evaluate the viability of using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) with a nerve cuff to record neural activity in peripheral nerves. Approach: Established modelling approaches in neural-EIT are expanded on to be used, for the first time, on myelinated fibres which are abundant in mammalian peripheral nerves and ...
