Background: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common condition that compromises motor and sensory functions. Peripheral nerves are known to have regenerative capability and the pineal hormone, melatonin, is known to aid nerve regeneration. However, the role of Schwann cells and the pathways involved remain unclear. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the effects of melatonin on Schwann ...

The kinetics of nerve differentiation were investigated during head regeneration in Hydra. In particular the cell cycle parameters of stem cells undergoing nerve commitment were determined. Head regeneration induces extensive nerve commitment localized at the regenerating tip (G. Venugopal appearance of committed nerve precursors is followed 12 hr later by the appearance of newly differentiated...

“Molecular Cybernetics” is an emerging research field aiming the development of “Chemical AI”, artificial intelligence with memory and learning capabilities based on molecular communication. It originated from Robotics”, which studies systems that comprise three basic elements robots; Sensing, Planning, Acting. Development Amoeba-type robot (unicellular cell,) motivated construction multicellul...

conclusions accordingly, laser therapy in our protocol seemed to affect some of the nerve growth parameters, mostly on motor rather than sensory fibers. results in the two -point discrimination- test, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the thumbs but a significant improvement was observed in the index finger of the lt group. improvement of muscular examinations such a...

Lidocaine has been shown to inhibit the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer, but mechanism still remains unclear. This study explored relationship between lidocaine circulating seeding cancer cells from perspective nerve fiber formation. The cell lines MDA-MB-231 4T1 were subcutaneously inoculated in mice simulate tumor self-seeding by cells. was used treat these growth observed. Silver st...

     The overall goal of this study was to identify the appropriate biomaterials able to facilitate the regeneration in rat's injured adult spinal cord. Acute damage to axons is manifested as a breach in their membranes, ionexchange distortion across the compromised region, local depolarization and even conduction block. It would be of particular importance to interrupt the progress of events h...

The origin of nerve fibers to the rat middle cerebral artery was studied by retrograde tracing with the fluorescent tracer True Blue (TB) in combination with immunocytochemistry to known perivascular peptides. Application of TB to the middle cerebral artery labeled nerve cell bodies in the ipsilateral superior cervical ganglion, the otic ganglion, the sphenopalatine ganglion, the trigeminal gan...
