## Abstract There is considerable interest in the possibility that ATP may function as a peripheral pain mediator. Most of the studies underlying this idea are electrophysiological recordings from sensory cell bodies, as nociceptive axons with diameters of 1 to 3 ΞΌm are not accessible by intracellu
The concentration of mast cells was estimated, and their distribution noted, in 132 benign nerve sheath tumours. With few exceptions, neurofibromas were characterised by a high concentration of diffusely distributed mast cells. In neurilemmomas fewer mast cells were present and these were restricted
The popularity of nerve conduits has increased recently due to the need for alternative nerve reconstruction techniques, obviating the harvest of nerve grafts. Based on ideas suggesting nerve tissue itself, which was the most physiologic environment for nerve regeneration, a study using 40 sciatic n
