We studied the effect of initiation time of nerve expansion after nerve transection on the induction of ODC activity and Schwann cell proliferation in nerve tissue under Wallerian degeneration. The levels of ODC activity and Schwann cell proliferation decreased as the initiation time of nerve expans
## Abstract We have constructed a chitosan nonwoven nanofiber mesh tube consisting of oriented fibers by the electrospinning method. The efficacy of oriented nanofibers on Schwann cell alignment and positive effect of this tube on peripheral nerve regeneration were confirmed. The physical propertie
The present study showed that insulin (0.01 pg/ml, = 2 nM) inhibited [3H]-thymidine incorporation in support cells, most likely Schwann cells, of the cultured frog sciatic nerve. A 25-35% inhibition took place in regenerating nerve preparations as well as in preparations devoid of neuronal protein s
The distal stump of an injured peripheral nerve supports regenerating axons by offering a favourable growth substratum and several cell-produced growth factors. Deprivation of cellular factors alone has been shown not to prevent fairly rapid axonal elongation after nerve injury if the growth substra
## Abstract We compared the effects of FK506 administration on regeneration and reinnervation after sciatic nerve resection and repair with an autologous graft or with a silicone tube leaving a 6βmm gap in the mouse. Functional reinnervation was assessed by noninvasive methods to determine recovery
