Development and Characterisation of an in vitro Model of Wallerian Degeneration

Development and Characterisation of an in vitro Model of Wallerian Degeneration

Following peripheral nerve injury, a sequence of events termed Wallerian degeneration (WD) takes place at the distal stump in order to allow the regenerating axons to grow back toward the target organs. Schwann cells (SCs) play a lead role in this by initiating the inflammatory response attracting m...
