Protease Activated Receptor 1 and Its Ligands as Main Regulators of the Regeneration of Peripheral Nerves

In contrast with the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves possess a striking ability to regenerate after damage. This characteristic of the peripheral nervous system is mainly due to a specific population of glial cells, the Schwann cells. Schwann cells promptly activate after nerve injury, dedi...
