Do peripheral nerve extracts protect retinal ganglion cells from axotomy-induced death?

abstract：:Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries are severe burdens for the patients, their relatives, the health care providers and society as a whole. Recent data demonstrate the magnitude of the problem: It is mostly a disease of the young gen-eration (age 20-45 years) with mortality rates for severe traumatic brain injury...
