Polyethylene glycol fusion associated with antioxidants: A new promise in the treatment of traumatic facial paralysis

Recent studies in invertebrates have taught us that early cell membrane regeneration is determinant for axonal recovery and survival after trauma. Many authors obtained extraordinary results in neural regeneration using polyethylene glycol fusion protocols, which also involved microsutures and antioxidants.
