Aim: Murphy Roths Large (MRL/MpJ) mice have demonstrated the ability to heal with minimal or no scar formation in several tissue types. In order to identify a novel animal model, this study sought to evaluate whether this attribute applies to peripheral nerve regeneration. Materials & methods: This was a two-phase study. 6-week-old male mice were divided into two interventional groups: nerve repair and nerve graft. The MRL/MpJ was compared with the C57BL/6J strain for evaluation of both functional and histological outcomes. Results: MRL/MpJ strain demonstrated superior axon myelination and less scar formation, however functional outcomes did not show significant difference between strains. Conclusion: Superior histological outcomes did not translate into superior peripheral nerve regeneration in MRL/MpJ strain.
