## Abstract Chitooligosaccharides (COSs) are the biodegradation products of chitosan that have been demonstrated with neuroaffinity and/or neuroprotective actions. In this study, we investigated the possible benefits of treatment with COSs on nerve regeneration after crush injuries to peripheral ne
Neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) is a recently identified neurotrophic factor with potential trophic effects on subpopulations of neurons. Little is known about its role in peripheral nerve regeneration following nerve injury. To investigate this, 48 Sprague-Dawley rats underwent left sciatic nerve transection
Peripheral human nerves fail to regenerate across longer tube implants (>2 cm), most likely because implants lack the microarchitecture of native nerves, including bands of Bu Β¨ngner. Bands of Bu Β¨ngner comprise longitudinally aligned Schwann cell strands that guide selectively regrowing axons. We a
