Counting axons on histological sections can be a laborious task, yet it is essential to quantify the success of neuroregeneration. With about 300.000 cases of peripheral nerve injury in Europe, the quest for effective surgical and therapeutic options is one of the top priorities in medical research. The peripheral nervous system has been shown to have a remarkable potential to regenerate, but might need assistance, for example in the form of a biomaterial bridging the defect, which can then be reinnervated by new axons.

Trauma is the fourth most common cause of death worldwide and uncontrolled bleeding is a major preventable cause of death in patients with traumatic injury. Controlling hemorrhage is often more difficult than it seems though, as in severely bleeding trauma patients, coagulation may be altered. Both uncontrollable bleeding as well as hypercoagulation can occur as a result of a complex interplay of several mechanisms involving procoagulant and anticoagulant factors as well as cellular components.
