I keyed off a couple words in here; 'axonal growth' and 'neuronal repair'. We need both for our recovery, so demand your doctor read this and come back with protocols that will do those exact things. You do expect your doctor to KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO GET YOU RECOVERED? That is why you are paying them, for results. No results, NO PAYMENT!
Mechanosensitive Ion Channels, Axonal Growth, and Regeneration
Abstract
Cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli by converting those stimuli into biological signals, a process known as mechanotransduction. Mechanotransduction is essential in diverse cellular functions, including tissue development, touch sensitivity, pain, and neuronal pathfinding. In the search for key players of mechanotransduction, several families of ion channels were identified as being mechanosensitive and were demonstrated to be activated directly by mechanical forces in both the membrane bilayer and the cytoskeleton. More recently, Piezo ion channels were discovered as a bona fide mechanosensitive ion channel, and its characterization led to a cascade of research that revealed the diverse functions of Piezo proteins and, in particular, their involvement in neuronal repair.
