Nerve repair: experimental and clinical evaluation of neurotrophic factors in peripheral nerve regeneration

Injury
Elizabeth O JohnsonPanayotis N Soucacos

Abstract

Neurotrophic factors are a family of polypeptides required for survival of discrete neuronal populations. In the normal state such factors are mostly synthesised by target tissues and are used for the viability of the nerve-cell bodies. After nerve injury, neurotrophic factors (NFs) are synthesised by non-neuronal (Schwann cells and fibroblasts) in the nerve trunk, and act to support the outgrowth of axons. NFs can be classified into three major groups: (1) neurotrophins; (2) neurokines; and (3) the transforming growth factor beta (TGF)-beta superfamily.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.

Astrocytes in Repair & Regeneration

Astrocytes are glial cells found within the CNS and are able to regenerate new neurons. They become activated during CNS injury and disease. The activation leads to the transcription of new genes and the repair and regeneration of neurons. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in repair and regeneration here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
