Published in Blood Weekly, February 2nd, 2012
2012 FEB 2 -- Researchers detail in "A (heat) shock to the system promotes peripheral nerve regeneration," new data in Biomedical Engineering. According to the authors of recent research from Baltimore, Maryland, "Peripheral nerves are easily damaged, resulting in loss of motor and sensory function. Recovery of motor and sensory function after peripheral nerve injury is suboptimal, even after appropriate surgical repair."
"This is due to the slow rate of axonal elongation during regeneration and atrophic changes that occur in denervated Schwann cells and target muscle with proximal lesions. One way to solve this problem is to accelerate the rate at which...
