Stem cells can be used to regrow a variety of different tissues and organs without a person with nerve damage. In a person with nerve damage, they can help to regrow nerves.

Why do scientists want to get mature nerve cells to divide?

Mature cells can't grow back, in other words divide or reproduce. This means that when a person gets severe burns, or brain damage, the cells won't come back and the person might be paralyzed or have no feeling in a certain area. So if it was possible for nerve cells to divide, they person wouldn't have any problems and could heal themselves.


How long does take for sciatica nerve damage to heel?

Nerve cells are different from other cells. In other cells they have a cell wall cell membrane nucleus lisozomes etc. but nerve cells dont have the information nor the ability to heal as well as normal cells do. it all depends on the extent of the damage


How does alcohol affect nerve cells?

Alcohol can disrupt communication between nerve cells by affecting neurotransmitter levels and decreasing the ability of nerve cells to function properly. Chronic alcohol consumption can damage nerve cells and lead to issues with memory, cognition, and coordination.


How long can nerve cells survive without new blood supply?

Nerve cells can typically survive without a new blood supply for about 4-6 minutes before irreversible damage occurs due to oxygen and nutrient deprivation. After this time, cell death may occur, leading to permanent neurological impairment.


What are nerve cells that engulf cellular waste and destroy microorganisms in nerve tissue?

Microglia are nerve cells that act as the primary immune cells in the central nervous system. They engulf and digest cellular waste and foreign microorganisms to maintain brain health and protect nerve tissue from damage.


What cell does not continue to divide throughout a person life?

For the most part cells that make up nervous tissue do not do mitosis often. This is why nerve damage is so serious.

What are swan cells?

Swan cells are a type of glial cell found in the peripheral nervous system of vertebrates. They function to support and protect nerve cells by providing structural and nutritional support. Swan cells also play a role in repairing nerve damage and aiding in the regeneration of nerve fibers.


How long can you breath without your diaphragm working due to nerve damage?

Without the diaphragm working due to nerve damage, a person may only be able to breathe for a few minutes before experiencing severe respiratory distress and potentially losing consciousness. Emergency medical intervention such as mechanical ventilation would be required to sustain breathing in such a situation.


What is the difference between nerve cells and nerve?

a nerve tends to refer to a group of nerve cells.


How often do nerve cells go through the cell cycle?

Nerve cells, also known as neurons, typically do not go through the cell cycle to divide and reproduce. They are terminally differentiated cells that do not undergo cell division once they have matured. This is why nerve cell damage or loss is often irreversible.
