Hepatocyte growth factor is necessary for efficient outgrowth of injured peripheral axons in in vitro culture system and in vivo nerve crush mouse model

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a neurotrophic factor and its role in peripheral nerves has been relatively unknown. In this study, biological functions of HGF and its receptor c-met have been investigated in the context of regeneration of damaged peripheral nerves. Axotomy of the peripheral branc...
