Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is an antioxidant that also stimulates nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis and secretion. In an earlier pilot study in our laboratory, Schwann cell growth was accelerated, and NGF mRNA expression and NGF secretion were promoted. The present study was designed to explor

## Abstract Nerve regeneration after complete transection does not allow for adequate functional recovery mainly because of lack of selectivity of target reinnervation. We assessed if transplanting a nerve segment from either motor or sensory origin may improve specifically the accuracy of sensory
Rat sciatic nerve regeneration through three synthetic neural prostheses was compared with regeneration through nerve allografts. The synthetic prostheses were either nonpermeable nonabsorbable (Silastic), permeable absorbable (polyglactin mesh), or permeable nonabsorbable (polypropylene mesh). Anim
