neuron regeneration

Neuron regeneration refers to the process by which nerve cells (neurons) repair or replace themselves after injury. While the nervous system has limited ability to regenerate, some neurons can regenerate through growth of new fibers called axons or dendrites, often guided by surrounding supportive cells and molecules. This process involves a complex interplay of signals that promote healing and new connections. Successful regeneration depends on factors like the severity of damage and the location within the nervous system. Understanding neuron regeneration is crucial for developing therapies for nerve injuries and neurodegenerative diseases.
