Abstract:
:Regeneration of injured CNS neurons was once thought to be an unachievable goal. Most patients with significant damage to the spinal cord suffer from permanently impaired neurological function. A century of research, however, has led to an understanding of multiple factors that limit CNS regeneration and from this knowledge experimental strategies have emerged for enhancing CNS repair. Some of these approaches have undergone human translation. Nevertheless, translating experimental findings to human trials has been more challenging than anticipated. In this chapter, we will review the current state of knowledge regarding central axonal growth failure after injury, and approaches taken to enhance recovery after SCI.
