New advances in the field of nerve regeneration

Nerve regeneration refers to the regeneration or repair of nerve tissue, cells, or cell products. This mechanism may include the production of new neurons, glia, axons, myelin sheaths, or synapses. Nerve regeneration is clinically important because it is part of the pathogenesis of many diseases. Due to the high incidence of nerve damage, nerve regeneration, and repair are becoming a rapidly developing field. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) are involved in different functional mechanisms. The peripheral nervous system has the intrinsic ability to repair and regenerate, while the central nervous system largely lacks the ability to repair and regenerate itself. Theories about nervous system regeneration still need to be studied. Much research is still needed to optimize the environment to realize the regenerative potential of nerves.

This Research Topic focuses on discovering new ways to restore neurological function after injury, including but not limited to basic and clinical research on molecular mechanisms, materials science, artificial intelligence, drugs, surgery, and various adjuvant therapies.
