Rapid and efficient immunomagnetic isolation of endothelial cells from human peripheral nerves

Abstract Endothelial cells (ECs) have gained an increased scientific focus since they were reported to provide guidance for Schwann cells and subsequently following axons after nerve injuries. However, previous protocols for the isolation of nerve-derived ECs from human nerves are ineffective regard...
