Tissue engineered nerve grafts (TENGs) have emerged as a potential alternative to
autologous nerve grafts, the gold standard for peripheral nerve repair. Typically, TENGs are …

Peripheral nerve injury is a common clinical entity, which may arise due to traumatic,
tumorous, or even iatrogenic injury in craniomaxillofacial surgery. Despite advances in …

Nerve regeneration includes regrowth of injured axons as well as myelination, restoration of
synaptic connections and recovery of physiological functions. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is …

Melatonin research has been experiencing hyper growth in the last two decades; this relates
to its numerous physiological functions including anti-inflammation, oncostasis, circadian …

Nerve conduit provides a promising strategy for nerve injury repair in the peripheral nervous
system (PNS). However, simply bridging the transected nerve with an empty conduit is hard …

Background Epidural steroid injections (ESI) are the most common pain management
procedure performed in the US, however evidence of efficacy is limited. In addition, there is …

Restoring neurological function to a damaged peripheral nerve separated by a gap requires
axon regeneration (1) across the gap, no matter its length, and then (2) through the distal …

Abstract Interactions between Schwann cells (SCs) and scaffolds are important for tissue
development during nerve regeneration, because SCs physiologically assist in directing the …

Treating peripheral nerve defects represents a clinical challenge, and nerve conduits
lacking an internal scaffold lead to limited large nerve gap regeneration. Here, we bridged …

Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells that originate from the dorsal portions of the
closing neural tube in vertebrate embryos. Similar to neurons, they are derived from …
