Enhancement of epidermal regeneration by biosynthetic epidermal growth factor
Epidermal regeneration depends on mitosis and migration of keratinocytes. Epidermal growth factor is known to stimulate growth of keratinocytes in vitro, thus it might be expected to promote wound healing. The results of this study show that topical application of biosynthetic human epidermal growth factor accelerates epidermal regeneration in split-thickness wounds and partial-thickness burns....
متن کاملGrowth factor enhancement of peripheral nerve regeneration through a novel synthetic hydrogel tube.
OBJECT The authors' long-term goal is repair of peripheral nerve injuries by using synthetic nerve guidance devices that improve both regeneration and functional outcome relative to an autograft. They report the in vitro processing and in vivo application of synthetic hydrogel tubes that are filled with collagen gel impregnated with growth factors. METHODS Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-...
متن کاملRegeneration of olfactory receptor neurons following chemical lesion: time course and enhancement with growth factor administration.
Although it has been known for over 50 years that olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) neurogenesis and subsequent reinnervation of the olfactory bulb (OB) occurs following ORN injury, the precise intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate this dynamic process have not yet been fully identified. In the first of two experiments, we characterized the time course of anatomical recovery following zin...
متن کاملEffects of Nerve Growth Factor, Insulin- Like Growth Factor-I and Collagen Gel on Peripheral Nerve Channel: Sensory, Functional and Regeneration Through Piezoelectric Electrophysiologicalal Study
Purpose: The limited availability of donor sites for nerve grafts continues to stimulate research toward finding suitable alternatives. Material and Methods: In the following study, the effects of direct administration of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Insulin - Like Growth Factor - I (IGF-I) , or / and collagen gel into Polyvinylidene Fluride (PVDF) gap was tested in a rat sciatic nerve model. A ...
متن کاملNerve Growth Factor Stimulates Cardiac Regeneration via Cardiomyocyte Proliferation in Experimental Heart Failure
Although the adult heart likely retains some regenerative capacity, heart failure (HF) typically remains a progressive disorder. We hypothesise that alterations in the local environment contribute to the failure of regeneration in HF. Previously we showed that nerve growth factor (NGF) is deficient in the failing heart and here we hypothesise that diminished NGF limits the cardiac regenerative ...
