Nerve growth factor-containing fibrin glue membrane enables peripheral nerve regeneration

Neurology News & Neuroscience News from Medical News Today

Complete regeneration is usually very difficult following peripheral nerve damage, though microsurgical techniques have vastly increased the success rate of surgery to repair the injured nerve. This occurs possibly because of a lack of neurotrophic factors and extracellular matrix in the injured region, which results in a microenvironment that is not optimal for peripheral nerve regeneration.
