What the research examined
An experimental publication examined Cortagen after a defined sciatic-nerve injury in rats. Researchers measured regenerating nerve-fiber growth and conduction velocity. A related publication concerns delayed restoration of injured-nerve function.
How to interpret the findings
These are animal-model findings. Anatomical regeneration and electrical conduction are distinct measurements, and neither establishes an outcome in people. The second record provides limited abstract detail, so it is included as further reading rather than evidence for additional claims.
