Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

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.
