A new approach to repairing peripheral nerves marries the regenerating power of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells with a biological scaffold to enable the functional recovery of nerves following ...

When a peripheral nerve is injured or severed and requires surgery to repair, the standard treatment involves manual suturing of the nerve’s outer connective tissue, a somewhat complex process that ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Peripheral nerve injuries pose significant challenges in medical treatment, often leading to long-term disabilities and reduced quality of life. These injuries can result from ...

Researchers at the University of Leipzig Medical Center report that Schwann cells receive crucial support with nerve repair from the fat tissue that surrounds nerves in the body. Using genetically ...

Microscopic cross-section through a peripheral nerve bundle (dark blue), which contains hundreds of nerve fibers coated with Schwann cells. Numerous large fat cells (light blue) can be seen in the ...

Researchers teamed up to create a novel approach to surgically repairing injured peripheral nerves that relies on the versatility of gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A new approach to repairing ...
