Nerve guidance conduit — A nerve guidance conduit (also referred to as an artificial nerve conduit or artificial nerve graft, as opposed to an autograft) is an artificial means of guiding axonal regrowth to facilitate nerve regeneration and is one of several clinical… … Wikipedia
Netrin — 1 knockout disrupts thalamocortical projections topography. From Powell et al., 2008.[1] Netrins are a class of proteins involved in axon guidance. They are named after the Sanskrit word netr , which means one who guide … Wikipedia
Neuroregeneration — refers to the regrowth or repair of nervous tissues, cells or cell products. Such mechanisms may include generation of new neurons, glia, axons, myelin, or synapses. Neuroregeneration differs between the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the… … Wikipedia
