A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They ...

Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are ...

A previously reported stimulation technique which elicits a unidirectionally propagated nerve action potential has been evaluated with repetition rates from 10 to 100 Hiz. Block of propagation in one ...

Objective. The work presented here describes a new tool for peripheral nerve interfacing, called the microneedle cuff (μN-cuff) electrode. Approach. μN arrays are designed and integrated into cuff ...

3D Systems and TISSIUM achieve FDA approval for a groundbreaking 3D-printed bioabsorbable device for peripheral nerve repair.

--Today, 3 D Systems announced that its 3 D bioprinting technologies have enabled FDA approval for the regenerative repair of peripheral nerve damage. For the last several years, 3 D Systems has ...

Diseases affecting the PNS disrupt nerve communication, leading to limitations in mobility, sensation and coordination. Traditionally, treatments have relied on drugs tailored to specific conditions, ...

CAR T-cell therapy as option for diseases of the peripheral nervous system Our work shows that the targeted use of CAR T-cells is possible and of significant clinical benefit, even for severe ...

During the development of peripheral nerves, neural crest cells generate myelinating and non-myelinating glial cells in a process that parallels gliogenesis from the germinal layers of the CNS.

Myelination of Schwann cells is a complex biological process that plays a crucial role in peripheral nervous system (PNS) development and repair. Recent studies have indicated that the extracellular ...
