2. Neuroregeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroregeneration

   Guillain–Barré syndrome – nerve damage. Neuroregeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) occurs to a significant degree. [5] [6] After an injury to the axon, peripheral neurons activate a variety of signaling pathways which turn on pro-growth genes, leading to reformation of a functional growth cone and regeneration.

3. Preferential motor reinnervation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferential_motor_reinner...

   Axon reinnervation is greatly affected by the pathway the regenerated nerve has chosen to grow along. The nerves' ability to properly function after damage is very dependent on successful reinnervation, which is why the effects of PMR are so relevant. The success of nerve reinnervation after different grafting attempts is a current research ...

4. Nerve injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_injury

   This type of nerve damage may cause paralysis of the motor, sensory, and autonomic functions, and is mainly seen in crush injury. [2] If the force creating the nerve damage is removed in a timely fashion, the axon may regenerate, leading to recovery. Electrically, the nerve shows rapid and complete degeneration, with loss of voluntary motor units.

   Existing treatments aim to suppress the immune system to prevent further damage to nerve cells. A new study has developed a treatment that can help regenerate myelin with the potential to stop and ...

6. Wallerian degeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallerian_degeneration

   The prolonged presence of myelin debris in CNS could possibly hinder the regeneration. [22] An experiment conducted on newts, animals that have fast CNS axon regeneration capabilities, found that Wallerian degeneration of an optic nerve injury took up to 10 to 14 days on average, further suggesting that slow clearance inhibits regeneration. [23]

7. Schwann cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwann_cell

   Schwann cells are known for their roles in supporting nerve regeneration. [6] Nerves in the PNS consist of many axons myelinated by Schwann cells. If damage occurs to a nerve, the Schwann cells aid in digestion of its axons (phagocytosis). Following this process, the Schwann cells can guide regeneration by forming a type of tunnel that leads ...
