Axon regeneration and central nervous system repair represent critical frontiers in neuroscience research, offering promise for restoring communication and function after injury. Following trauma, ...

That’s because the Schwann cells responsible for regeneration stop providing support after about three months. If the restoration of nerve function, called reinnervation, hasn’t happened in that time, ...

In nerve regeneration, the pace of recovery can often be a race against time, with critical windows dictating successful outcomes. Recent research by Gobrecht et al. has unveiled a promising avenue ...

Researchers from the University of Cologne have found a new use for cnicin, a substance produced in blessed thistle. Their article "Cnicin promotes functional nerve regeneration" features clinical ...

Older Americans are increasingly active, and this lifestyle shift has contributed to the rise in average age of a person experiencing a spinal cord injury. The changing demographic calls for a better ...

The central nervous system (CNS) in adult mammals has limited regeneration capacity, and traumatic injuries to the CNS usually lead to permanent functional impairment.

Various tissues and organs in the human body, such as nerves, heart, bones, and skin, rely on bioelectrical signals to maintain function and support ...

Lipin-1 decline promotes axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury Oct. 9, 2024 ...
