1. Combination of heterologous fibrin sealant and bioengineered human embryonic stem cells to improve regeneration following autogenous sciatic nerve grafting repair
Abstract Background Peripheral nerve injury is a worldwide clinical problem, and the preferred surgical method for treating it is the end-to-end neurorrhaphy. When it is not possible due to a large nerve gap, autologous nerve grafting is used. However, these surgical techniques result in nerve regeneration at highly variable degrees. It is thus very importa

2. Heregulin-1β Promotes the Synergistic Effect Between Allogenic Skin-Derived Precursor Differentiated Schwann Cells (SKP-SC) and Acellular Nerve Allograft (ANA) in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Through Inhibiting Mir-21
Previous studies in our lab found that heregulin-1β with SKP-SCs (neurons and Schwann cells differentiated from SKPs) / ANA (acellular nerve allograft) transplantation represented a powerful therapeutic approach, and facilitates the efficacy of ANA in peripheral nerve injury. In this study, our purpose is to explore the mechanism between them. Firstly we tr

3. Comparative experimental study between fresh and predegenerated autografts in nerve reconstruction / "Estudo experimental comparativo entre auto-enxerto convencional e pré-degenerado na reconstrução de nervo"
Para avaliar a eficácia do método de pré-degeneração em nervos ciáticos de ratos durante diferentes intervalos de tempo, foram realizados estudos histomorfométricos de cortes laminares obtidos ao nível do enxerto e no segmento distal do nervo receptor. Os resultados foram comparados com a técnica convencional de enxertia nervosa. Verificou-se que o

4. Non-neuronal cells are not the limiting factor for the low axonal regeneration in C57BL/6J mice
Peripheral axonal regeneration was investigated in adult male mice of the C57BL/6J (C), BALB/cJ (B) and A/J (A) strains and in their F1 descendants using a predegenerated nerve transplantation model. Four types of transplants were performed: 1) isotransplants between animals of the C, B and A strains; 2) donors of the C strain and recipients of the C x B and

5. Hematopoietic cell transplantation in murine globoid cell leukodystrophy (the twitcher mouse): effects on levels of galactosylceramidase, psychosine, and galactocerebrosides.
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) prolongs survival in the twitcher mouse, an authentic animal model of human globoid cell leukodystrophy (Krabbe disease; galactosylceramidase deficiency), but the effects of HCT on levels of galactosylceramidase, psychosine, and cerebrosides in the tissues of twitcher mice have not been previously studied. Galactosylc

6. Mitogen-expanded Schwann cells retain the capacity to myelinate regenerating axons after transplantation into rat sciatic nerve.
We have developed a method for genetically modifying Schwann cells (SCs) in vitro and then assessed whether these SCs could interact normally with axons in vivo. Rat SCs were transduced in vitro with the lacZ gene by using a retroviral vector and then expanded with the SC mitogens forskolin and glial growth factor. These mitogen-expanded SCs had an abnormal
