The peripheral nervous system is a vast network of nerves that exists primarily outside of brain and spinal cord and connects to the far reaches of the body. The very expanse of peripheral nerves ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In an effort to determine whether the "growth state" and the "mature state" of a neuron are differentiated by different programs of gene ...

Neuroscientists studying how the body's immune system breaks down damaged peripheral nerves. Their latest research changes our understanding of neuropathic pain and how to treat it. In animal models ...

There’s a new option to help patients with chronic pain. NeuraLace Medical has received FDA clearance for its Axon Therapy, a technology that non-invasively stimulates peripheral nerves and provides ...

Scientists have developed a gene therapy that blocks axonal degeneration, preventing axon destruction in mice and suggesting a therapeutic strategy that could help prevent the loss of peripheral ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a computer modeling method to accurately predict how a peripheral nerve axon responds to electrical stimuli, slashing the complex work ...

In humans, axons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are capable of regeneration, whereas those of the central nervous system (CNS) are currently viewed as incapable of regeneration. This inability ...
