The study shows that muscle-generated signals, or myokines, promote significant nerve growth, growing four times farther when neurons are exposed to these signals.
Besides biochemical signals, the study found that physical impacts, such as stretching and contracting, also lead to substantial nerve growth, highlighting the dual effects of exercise.
The discovery of muscle-nerve crosstalk opens up potential treatments for nerve injuries by stimulating muscles to encourage nerve healing and restore movement.
