A secondary stress signaling pathway in the response to optic axon injury is an unexpectedly strong contributor to both neurodegeneration and axon regenerative potential.

That’s because the Schwann cells responsible for regeneration stop providing support after about three months. If the restoration of nerve function, called reinnervation, hasn’t happened in that time, ...

In nerve regeneration, the pace of recovery can often be a race against time, with critical windows dictating successful outcomes. Recent research by Gobrecht et al. has unveiled a promising avenue ...

Early signs of a nerve injury are your body’s warning to get help fast. Discover what symptoms to watch for and the minimally invasive nerve repair techniques to help you recover.

Now, by analyzing thousands of proteins found in the blood, scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have created what they view as the clearest picture yet of when the ...
