Sphincter dysfunction often occurs at the end of tubule organs such as the urethra, anus, or
gastroesophageal sphincters. It is the primary consequence of neuromuscular impairment …

Peripheral nerve injury is a common posttraumatic complication. The precise surgical repair
of nerve lesion does not always guarantee satisfactory motor and sensory function recovery …

Background Nervous system injuries in mammals often involve transection or segmental
loss of peripheral nerves. Such injuries result in functional (behavioral) deficits poorly …

Complete severance of major peripheral mixed sensory–motor nerve proximally in a
mammalian limb produces immediate loss of action potential conduction and voluntary …

Schwann cells play a critical role in peripheral nerve regeneration through dedifferentiation
and proliferation. In a previous study, we performed microarray analysis of the sciatic nerve …

Many publications report that ablations of segments of peripheral nerves produce the
following unfortunate results:(1) Immediate loss of sensory signaling and motor control;(2) …

Peripheral nerve injury and regeneration are complex processes and involve multiple
molecular and signalling components. However, the involvement of long non‐coding RNA …

Purpose Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been hypothesized to restore axonal continuity
using an in vivo rat sciatic nerve injury model when nerve repair occurs within minutes after …

Importance Functional and anatomical outcomes after surgical repair of facial nerve injury
may be improved with the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to direct suture …

Complete transection of peripheral mixed nerves immediately produces loss of sensory
perception, muscle contractions and voluntary behavior mediated by the severed distal …
