… Composite polymers based on poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(D,L-lactide) and poly(D,L-…
In-vitro experiments indicate that poly(D,L-lactide) and PLGA scaffolds promote directional …

After spinal cord injury, the severed neuronal pathways fail to regenerate spontaneously.
This study describes a biodegradable implant using poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) fibers as …

In future, adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) might be used to treat neurological disorders. In
this study, the neurotrophic and angiogenic properties of human ASC were evaluated, and …

Cavity formation is an important obstacle impeding regeneration after spinal cord injury and
bridging strategies are essential to provide physical substrate allowing axons to grow across …

… After washing and resuspension, OECs were plated on 25 cm 2 poly-L-lysine-coated culture
flasks and kept at 37C, 95% humidity, and 5% CO 2 . The purity of OECs was about 80%. …

This study shows that in adult rat spinal motoneurons brain-derived neurotrophic factor exerts
a neuroprotective effect which extends several weeks beyond the duration of treatment. In …

Despite advances in surgical techniques for peripheral nerve repair, functional restitution
remains incomplete. The timing of surgery is one factor influencing the extent of recovery but it …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 10 weeks of resistance or
treadmill exercises on glycemic indices levels prior to and immediately following exercise in …

… Murine J774A.1 macrophages were grown in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10%
heat-inactivated fetal calf serum and 5 mM L-glutamine 61 . All cells were incubated at 37 C …

The permanence of retrograde neuronal labeling by the fluorescent tracers Fast Blue, Fluoro-Gold,
Mini-Ruby, Fluoro-Ruby and Fluoro-Emerald was investigated in adult rat spinal …
