objective: transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (bmscs) or schwann cells (scs) can facilitate axonal regeneration in peripheral nerve injuries. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of transplantation of bmscs and scs on functional recovery after injury to the sciatic nerve in the rat. materials and methods:in this experimental research, adult male wistar rats (n=24, 250-300 ...

introduction: transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (bmscs) or schwann cells (scs) can increase axonal regeneration in peripheral nerve injuries. based on our previous investigations, the goal of the present work was to examine the individual and synergistic effects of the two different cell types in sciatic nerve injury . we pursued to evaluate the effects of bmscs and scs co-transplant...

background: spinal cord injury (sci) is a major clinical condition and research is commonly done to find suitable treatment options. however, there are some degrees of spontaneous recovery after sci and gender is said to be a contributing factor in recovery, but this is controversial. this study was done to compare the effects of sexual dimorphism on spontaneous recovery after spinal cord injur...

This special issue focuses on the issue of functional recovery in schizophrenia. In line with the recent understanding that clinical remission can be defined, measured, and in some cases consistently achieved, attention has been focused on the fact that functional recovery may be possible as well. In contrast to the older Kraepelinian views of schizophrenia as having almost uniformly poor outco...

OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of corticosteroid administration on functional recovery and cell survival in the facial motor nucleus (FMN) following crush injury in adult and juvenile mice and to evaluate the relationship between functional recovery and facial motoneuron survival. METHODS A prospective blinded analysis of functional recovery and cell survival in the FMN after crush injury i...

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most serious clinical diseases, which not only affects the patient's physical and mental status, but its effects will be spread to family and community. After severe spinal cord injury, astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS) become reactive astrocytes, and play the main role of glial scar formation. The scar is a major obstacle to r...
