Transplantation of Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor-Expressing Adult Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells Promotes Remyelination and Functional Recovery after SpinalCord Injury [PDF]
, 2010 Demyelination contributes to the dysfunction after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). We explored whether the combination of neurotrophic factors and transplantation of adult rat spinal cord oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) could enhance ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents a conductive‐piezoelectric integrated microstructured conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration. The conduit combines reduced graphene oxide with a piezoelectric nanofiber membrane, enhancing nerve repair through physical guidance, oxidative stress inhibition, and ultrasound‐activated electrical stimulation.

Expression of ATF3 and axonal outgrowth are impaired after delayed nerve repair
BMC Neuroscience, 2008 Background A delay in surgical nerve repair results in impaired nerve function in humans, but mechanisms behind the weakened nerve regeneration are not known.

Dysregulation of NAD+ metabolism induces a Schwann cell dedifferentiation program [PDF]
, 2018 The Schwann cell (SC) is the major component of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that provides metabolic and functional support for peripheral axons. The emerging roles of SC mitochondrial function for PNS development and axonal stability indicate the

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents an ultrasound‐responsive hydrogel (MCF@CA) that co‐delivers a neuropeptide (CGRP) and a ROS‐scavenging manganese porphyrin to diabetic wounds. The system restores neuro‐immune communication, reprograms macrophages toward an anti‐inflammatory phenotype, and clears excess ROS, thereby accelerating wound closure and promoting mature ...

Tissue Engineered Bands of Büngner for Accelerated Motor and Sensory Axonal Outgrowth
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Following peripheral nerve injury comprising a segmental defect, the extent of axon regeneration decreases precipitously with increasing gap length. Schwann cells play a key role in driving axon re-growth by forming aligned tubular guidance structures ...

The structural and functional integrity of peripheral nerves depends on the glial-derived signal desert hedgehog [PDF]
, 2006 We show that desert hedgehog ( dhh), a signaling molecule expressed by Schwann cells, is essential for the structural and functional integrity of the peripheral nerve.
