TLDR
Basal lamina grafts for reconnecting severed nerves are prepared from muscle by removing cellular material therefrom while preserving the tubular structure of the basal lamina, eventually reestablishing nerve function through the regenerated graft.
Abstract
Basal lamina grafts for reconnecting severed nerves are prepared from muscle by removing cellular material therefrom while preserving the tubular structure of the basal lamina. When connected to nerve stumps the basal lamina surfaces promote axon regeneration therethrough, eventually reestablishing nerve function through the regenerated graft.

Method for connecting nerves via a side-to-side epineurial window using artificial conduits

TL;DR: In this paper, a bridging element between a first epineurial window on a donor nerve and a second epineural window on the recipient nerve was used to repair a muscle via side-to-side neurorraphy.

Spinal Cord Injury Repair Strategies

TL;DR: The vast body of work presently underway to reverse spinal cord injury is examined and an understanding of the pathology is of first and foremost importance before solutions can be reliably sought.

Long-term Outcomes Following Temperature-Controlled Radiofrequency Neurolysis for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis

TL;DR: Temperature-controlled radiofrequency neurolysis results in a significant and durable reduction in the symptom burden of chronic rhinitis and patients reported improved quality of life through 24 months postprocedure.

The nerve growth factor 35 years later

TL;DR: The field of experimental embryology, which had been enthusiastically acclaimed in the mid-thirties, suffered from a sharp decrease in the enthusiasm that had inflamed the pioneers in this field, ever since R. G. Harrison delivered his celebrated lecture at the Royal Society in London in 1935.

Structural characterization and biological functions of fibroblast growth factor

TL;DR: As expected from their structural relationship, both FGF and aFGF interact with the same receptor (7), thereby having similar, if not identical, properties.

Changes of nerve growth factor synthesis in nonneuronal cells in response to sciatic nerve transection.

TL;DR: In situ hybridization experiments demonstrated that after transection all nonneuronal cells express mRNANGF and not only those ensheathing the nerve fibers of NGF-responsive neurons, and the volume is too small to fully replace the lacking supply from the periphery.

Experiments on the Section of the Glossopharyngeal and Hypoglossal Nerves of the Frog, and Observations of the Alterations Produced Thereby in the Structure of Their Primitive Fibres

TL;DR: The object of the present observations is to describe certain alterations which take place in the elementary fibres of the nerve after they have been removed from their connection with the brain or spinal marrow.

Nerve regeneration in silicone chambers : influence of gap length and of distal stump components

TL;DR: Observations confirm that the distal stump influences proximal regeneration and indicate that this influence can act only over a limited distance or volume.
