Improving Axonal Regeneration: Side-to-side Bridges Coupled with Local Delivery of Glial Cell Line-derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF)

Chronic denervation and chronic axotomy present independent barriers for axonal regeneration. Chronic denervation occurs when nerves are no longer connected to their neuronal cell bodies; chronic axotomy occurs when neurons are not connected to their targets for prolonged periods of time. The harmfu...
