Injuries of the peripheral nervous system are common among the population affecting
around 3% of all trauma patients. This high clinical need in the field of peripheral nerve …

It has increasingly been recognized that electrical currents play a pivotal role in cell
migration and tissue repair, in a process named “galvanotaxis”. In this review, we summarize …

Computerized gait analysis is a common evaluation method in rat models of hind limb nerve
injuries, but its use remains unpublished in models of segmental nerve injury of the forelimb …

The successful introduction of innovative treatment strategies into clinical practise strongly
depends on the availability of effective experimental models and their reliable pre-clinical …

Introduction: The clinical use of tacrolimus is characterized by many side effects which
include neurotoxicity. In contrast, tacrolimus has also shown to have neuroregenerative …

Although autologous nerve transplantation is the gold standard for treating peripheral nerve
defects, it has many clinical limitations. As an alternative, various tissue-engineered nerve …

This chapter will focus on aspects to be considered when evaluating the properties of novel
materials and constructs for bioartificial and tissue-engineered nerve graft repair in …

The main goal of this investigation is to show how to create and repair different types of
median nerve (MN) lesions in the rat. Moreover, different methods of simulating …

Investigations reporting positive effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on
nerve regeneration are limited to the rat sciatic nerve model. The effects of ESWT on muscle …

Axonal bundles or axonal tracts have an aligned and unidirectional architecture present in
many neural structures with different lengths. When peripheral nerve injury (PNI), spinal cord …
