Genipin rescues developmental and degenerative defects in familial dysautonomia models and accelerates axon regeneration.

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is essential for proper body function. A high percentage of the world's population suffers from nerve degeneration or peripheral nerve damage. Despite this, there are major gaps in the knowledge of human PNS development and degeneration; therefore, there are no available treatments.

Genipin Crosslinks the Extracellular Matrix to Rescue Developmental and Degenerative Defects, and Accelerates Regeneration of Peripheral Neurons.

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is essential for proper body function. A high percentage of the population suffer nerve degeneration or peripheral damage. For example, over 40% of patients with diabetes or undergoing chemotherapy develop peripheral neuropathies.
