Effects of combining electrical stimulation with BDNF gene transfer on the regeneration of crushed rat sciatic nerve
2011
Background and aims
Various techniques have been investigated to enhance peripheral nerve regeneration including the application of low-intensity electrical stimulation (ES) and the administration of growth factors, especially brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combining short-term (ES) and recombinant adenoviral vector-mediated BDNF (BDNF-Ad) transfer, in comparison to each sole modality, on peripheral nerve regeneration in a rat model with crush-injured sciatic nerve.
