An examination of walking track analysis footprints of right-side unoperated limbs in rats prior to and following peripheral nerve injury and PEG fusion repair [PDF]
, 2018 Peripheral nerve injury can result in long-lasting functional deficits in humans due to mammals’ limited axon regenerative capacity. PEG fusion is a defined technique that fuses injured axons, resulting in morphological and electrophysiological ...

miR-30c promotes Schwann cell remyelination following peripheral nerve injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2017 Differential expression of miRNAs occurs in injured proximal nerve stumps and includes miRNAs that are firstly down-regulated and then gradually up-regulated following nerve injury. These miRNAs might be related to a Schwann cell phenotypic switch.

Seawater immersion aggravates sciatic nerve injury in rats
Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2015 The aim of the present study was investigate the impact of seawater immersion on peripheral nerve injury and the underlying mechanisms. A total of 234 specific pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into a sham group, injury control group and seawater immersion + injury group.

TGF beta type II receptor signaling controls Schwann cell death and proliferation in developing nerves [PDF]
, 2006 During development, Schwann cell numbers are precisely adjusted to match the number of axons. It is essentially unknown which growth factors or receptors carry out this important control in vivo.
