Title
Neuronal death after peripheral nerve injury and experimental strategies for neuroprotection.
Authors
Hart, Andrew M; Terenghi, Giorgio; Wiberg, Mikael
Abstract
Despite considerable microsurgical innovation in peripheral nerve repair, the outcome has improved little since the 1940s, reflecting surgical inability to adequately address the complex neurobiology of nerve injury and regeneration. Axotomy-induced neuronal death is potentially the most fundamental problem, and given recently published data, a review is timely.
