The Proximal Medial Sural Nerve Biopsy Model: A Standardised and Reproducible Baseline Clinical Model for the Translational Evaluation of Bioengineered Nerve Guides
Figure 7
Representative histology (semithin section, toluidine blue staining) of a patient with an inflammatory neuritis (see Table 4) (a)–(d). Note parallel appearance of large diameter, myelinated axons (approximately 50% reduced in number when compared to a normal sural nerve), and the large number of regenerating fibers arranged in clusters (see white arrows in (d)).
