Placental-Derived Connective Tissue Matrix Mediates Murine Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Regeneration. [PDF]
LaryngoscopePlacentally derived connective tissue matrix (pd‐CTM) innately contains various neurotrophic, angiogenic, anti‐inflammatory, and tissue remodeling cytokines. In this mouse model of unilateral vocal fold paralysis, we investigate its effects on recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) regeneration and reinnervation of the right thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle after ...

Chemotropic guidance facilitates axonal regeneration and synapse formation after spinal cord injury. [PDF]
, 2009 A principal objective of spinal cord injury (SCI) research is the restoration of axonal connectivity to denervated targets. We tested the hypothesis that chemotropic mechanisms would guide regenerating spinal cord axons to appropriate brainstem targets ...

The Laryngoscope, 1982 AbstractIn the past, numerous experiments have been performed to attempt reinnervation of the paralyzed larynx. None have been consistently successful. Two experiments were performed in this study, one to restore abduction of a paralyzed vocal cord and one to restore adduction.

Follow-up study of sensory-motor polyneuropathy in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic subjects after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation and after graft rejection [PDF]
, 1991 The influence of successful simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation on peripheral polyneuropathy was investigated in 53 patients for a mean observation period of 40.3 months. Seventeen patients were followed-up for more than 3 years.

Motor unit characteristics after targeted muscle reinnervation [PDF]
, 2016 Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical procedure used to redirect nerves originally controlling muscles of the amputated limb into remaining muscles above the amputation, to treat phantom limb pain and facilitate prosthetic control. While this

Reinnervation post-Heart transplantation [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2017 Heart transplantation results in complete denervation of the donor heart with loss of afferent and efferent nerve connections. The majority of patients remain completely denervated during the first 6-12 months following transplantation. Evidence of reinnervation is usually found during the second year after transplantation and involve the myocardial ...

Age-induced muscle atrophy and increase in fatigue resistance
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014 A number of changes occur with aging in skeletal muscles including a reduction in muscle fiber size and fiber number. However, recent studies have indicated that the elderly tend to be more resistant to fatigue than the young, particularly during ...
