The cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) favors the survival and growth of axons in vitro and in vivo. Fibronectin has been shown to enhance nerve regeneration when added in combination with various growth factors including LIF. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of LIF plus fibr

## Abstract Mechanical couplers are successfully used for microvascular venous anastomoses. The advantages include a simple and fast technique and a high patency rate. Couplers offer a secluded coaptation site, and might also be of use in peripheral nerve repair. The present study was designed to i
The present study deals with changes in numbers and sizes of primary afferent neurons (dorsal root ganglion [DRG] cells) after sciatic nerve transection. We find that this lesion in adult rats leads to death of some DRG cells by 8 weeks and 37% by 32 weeks after the lesion. The loss of cells appears
