Beskrivning

In the second edition of Axon Regrowth: The Neurobiology of Nerve and Axon Regeneration, this comprehensive volume explores the intricate processes of nerve and axon regeneration, addressing one of the most prevalent challenges in neurology. Building on the foundation of the original 2008 publication, this revised edition includes critical new chapters on central nervous system axon regeneration and nerve repair, highlighting both the similarities and differences in regenerative mechanisms between peripheral and central neurons. The book offers an in-depth examination of topics such as axonal degeneration, the biology of Schwann cells, and the role of growth factors and intrinsic signaling pathways. It also discusses the complexities of delayed reinnervation and the potential of dorsal root ganglia and ganglion stem cells in therapeutic approaches. By evaluating experimental neuropathies, this resource provides valuable insights for researchers and clinicians striving to develop effective strategies for nerve repair. With its meticulous review of molecular mechanisms and experimental methodologies, this edition serves as an essential guide for understanding and addressing the challenges of nerve regeneration.

Includes a new, detailed chapter on CNS axon regeneration
Reviews several new and exciting regeneration pathways and their potential for translation into regenerative therapies
