Biochemical Manipulation of the Microenvironment in Experimental Nerve Regeneration Chambers

  • Conference paper
Peripheral Nerve Lesions

Abstract

Despite improved microsurgical techniques, the results of peripheral nerve repair very often remain unsatisfactory [1–4]. Therefore, studies aimed at a better identification and potential manipulation of the cellular and molecular events in PNS regeneration are still meaningful to both scientists and clinicians [5].

This work was supported by a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Mu 699/1-2).
