what speeds up nerve regrowth?
- A significant discovery was made by scientists regarding the role of the enzyme CK2α, also called Casein kinase 2-alpha, in nerve regeneration. The breakup of G3BP1 granules is caused by CK2α phosphorylation. Nerve growth accelerates and the cell experiences elevated phosphorylated G3BP1 levels with increased CK2α levels. On the other hand, if CK2α decreases, the process slows down.
- By manipulating the activity of the gene Limk1, researchers were able to control nerve growth in the spinal cord during embryonic development in mice. The regulation of nerve growth is controlled by Limk1, which manages the activity of cofilin2.
How fast do nerves regrow?
Keep in mind that nerve regeneration occurs at a rate of 1 to 2 millimeters per day, so being patient is vital for recovery.
