Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor released by synthetic guidance channels promotes facial nerve regeneration in the rat
Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche
Regeneration of the human facial nerve after lesion is often limited, leading to severe functional impairments, in particular when repair is delayed for several months, when cross-facial nerve grafts have to be performed, or in elderly patients. To improve ...
2002Nerve growth factor- and neurotrophin-3-releasing guidance channels promote regeneration of the transected rat dorsal root
Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche, Eric Garrison Fine
Dorsal roots have a limited regeneration capacity after transection. To improve nerve regeneration, the growth-promoting effects of the neurotrophins nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) were evalua ...
2001Hydrogel-based three-dimensional matrix for neural cells
Patrick Aebischer, Nicolas Bouche
The ability to organize cells in three dimensions (3D) is an important component of tissue engineering. This study sought to develop an extracellular matrix (ECM) equivalent with a physicochemical structure capable of supporting neurite extension from prim ...
