Axon Regrowth

Peripheral nerve disorders are among the most common neurological problems that clinicians face, yet few therapies and interventions are available to stop or reverse the damage associated with them. The newly revised, Axon Regrowth: The Neurobiology of Nerve and Axon Regeneration, originally published in 2008, is fully revised and refocuses on the central nervous system axon regeneration to emphasize the commonalities and differences with peripheral nerve regeneration. This book reviews the substantial problems of axon and nerve regeneration, including molecular mechanisms and what approaches can be used to address it experimentally. Both researchers and clinicians alike will consider this a valuable resource.

• Includes new detailed chapter on CNS axon regeneration
• Reviews several new and exciting regeneration pathways and their potential for translation into regenerative therapies
• Discusses neurobiology of axon biology
