Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) stimulates regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve.
TL;DR: The results suggest that endogenous extracellular IGF-I plays an important role during regeneration of peripheral nerve fibers in rats after a crush lesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence indicating trophic importance of IGF-I in regenerating peripheral nerves.
Hans-Arne Hansson,Lars B. Dahlin,Nils Danielsen,Linda Fryklund,A. K. Nachemson,P Polleryd,Bjorn Rozell,Anna Skottner,S. Stemme,G. Lundborg +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that somatomedin C (Sm-C/insulin-like growth factor I/IGF-I) rapidly increased from low to high concentrations, reaching peak values in 2 weeks, in regenerating sciatic nerves of adult rats, and proposed that IGF-I exerts important growth supporting effects on regenerating peripheral nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronotrophic activities accumulate in vivo within silicone nerve regeneration chambers.
Frank M. Longo,Frank M. Longo,Marston Manthorpe,Marston Manthorpe,Stephen D. Skaper,Stephen D. Skaper,G. Lundborg,Silvio Varon,Silvio Varon +8 more
TL;DR: Rat sciatic nerves can be transected and their proximal and distal stumps sutured into the openings of cylindrical silicone chambers, and these chamber fluids have considerable neuronotrophic activity for chick embryo neurons from embryologic day 4 lumbar spinal cord, E12 sympathetic ganglia, E 12 dorsal root ganglia and E8 ciliary ganglia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can sensory and motor collateral sprouting be induced from intact peripheral nerve by end-to-side anastomosis?
G. Lundborg,Qing Zhao,Qing Zhao,M Kanje,M Kanje,Nils Danielsen,Nils Danielsen,James M. Kerns,James M. Kerns +8 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that collateral sprouting may occur from intact axons, perhaps induced by factors emanating from the attached nerve segment, and subsequently make functional peripheral connections.
