Muscle-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Influence Motor Neuron Regeneration Accuracy.
Journal Article Neuroscience · November 1, 2019 Extracellular vesicles are lipid bilayer-enclosed extracellular structures. Although the term extracellular vesicles is quite inclusive, it generally refers to exosomes (<200 nm), and microvesicles (~100-1000 nm). Such vesicles are resistant to degradation ...

Journal Article J Neurosci Res · July 2016 Functional recovery following a peripheral nerve injury is made easier when regenerating axons correctly reinnervate their original targets. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has recently been used in attempts to fuse severed peripheral axons during suture-based r ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
