In this podcast by RebGenetics, we explore peripheral nerve regeneration. When nerves are damaged, they can regrow, but the process is slow and doesn't always lead to full recovery.
Wallarian Degeneration breaks down the injured nerve, paving the way for regrowth. Schwann cells act as cleanup crew and guide axon regrowth. Time and distance affect recovery, making it a race against time. Electrical stimulation, like post-operative and conditioning stimulation, can aid in nerve regeneration by providing guidance and support.
Overall, understanding the complexities of nerve regeneration can help improve recovery outcomes.
