Lack of motor recovery after prolonged denervation of the neuromuscular junction is not due to regenerative failure

M Sakuma, G Gorski, SH Sheu, S Lee… - European Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Motor axons in peripheral nerves have the capacity to regenerate after injury. However, full
functional motor recovery rarely occurs clinically, and this depends on the nature and …
