Rodent models of nerve injury have increased our understanding of peripheral nerve
regeneration, but clinical applications have been scarce, partly because such models do not …

Sustained release of proteins from aligned polymeric fibers holds great potential in tissue‐engineering
applications. These protein–polymer composite fibers possess high surface‐area…

Functional recovery after repair of peripheral nerve injury in humans is often suboptimal. Over
the past quarter of a century, there have been significant advances in human nerve repair, …

Schwann cell phenotype is classified as either myelinating or nonmyelinating. Additional
phenotypic specialization is suggested, however, by the preferential reinnervation of muscle …

Wallerian degeneration is a widespread mechanism of programmed axon degeneration. In
the three decades since the discovery of the Wallerian degeneration slow (Wld S ) mouse, …

Peripheral neuropathy is a common complication of a variety of diseases and treatments,
including diabetes, cancer chemotherapy, and infectious causes (HIV, hepatitis C, and …

Neuromuscular dysfunction is prevalent in critically ill patients, is associated with worse
short-term outcomes, and is a determinant of long-term disability in intensive care unit survivors. …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease of the lower
and upper motor neurons with sporadic or hereditary occurrence. Age of onset, pattern of …

We compared gene expression profiles of mouse and human ES cells by immunocytochemistry,
RT-PCR, and membrane-based focused cDNA array analysis. Several markers that in …

Objective Human immunodeficiency virus–associated sensory neuropathy (HIV‐SN) is a
common and disabling disorder, often associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) use. We …
