The principles and mechanisms by which injured sensory neurons re-activate a pro-regenerative program following axon injury are being revealed. We hope to learn how we could apply these mechanisms to central nervous system neurons, to overcome their poor regenerative capacity. A broader understanding of the multicellular mechanisms associated with sensory nerve repair may lead to strategies to improve recovery after nervous system injuries in the future.
