Target intelligence / Profile preview

Peripheral Nerve (PN)

Target: PN
Molecular classification: Nerve, Nerve Fiber, Connective Tissue Structure

Overview

Peripheral nerves are the fundamental components of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), serving as communication lines between the central nervous system (CNS) and the body. They relay sensory input, execute motor output, and regulate autonomic functions. They are vulnerable to injury and disease (peripheral neuropathy), leading to weakness, numbness, pain, or loss of function.
