## Abstract Preservation of peripheral nerves may, in the near future, play an important role in reconstructive surgery, especially if recent advances in immunosuppressive therapy are taken into account. Therefore, it has to be investigated whether peripheral nerves can be stored for some time afte

The bridging of nerve gaps is still one of the major problems in peripheral nerve surgery. The present experiment describes our attempt to engineer different biologic nerve grafts in a rat sciatic nerve model: cultured isogenic Schwann cells were implanted into 2-cm autologous acellular nerve grafts

## Abstract After a simple nerve lesion, primary microsurgical suture is the treatment of choice. A nerve gap has to be bridged, with a nerve graft sacrificing a functioning nerve. Alternatively, tissue engineering of nerve grafts has become a subject of experimental research. It is evident that ne

Schwann cell proliferation was studied in cultured segments of the rat sciatic nerve by measurement of [ 3 H] thymidine incorporation or through bromodeoxyuridine-(BrdU)-labelling and immunocytochemistry. The aim was to delineate mechanisms involved in the injury-induced proliferative response of Sc

## Abstract We present here a fast protocol that could be used to obtain highly purified cultures of maximal proliferating adult rat Schwann cells. These adult rat Schwann cells can be transfected in a nonbiological way using the physical transfection method of electroporation. Schwann cells are de
