To the Editor: Peripheral nerve injury has been a common clinical disease, and delayed treatment may ultimately lead to long-term physical dysfunction. The repair of peripheral nerve injury has become a major challenge in clinical practice. Different from the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system has the capacity to regenerate after injury. However, the peripheral nerve regeneration after injury is a slow process, and more than 3 months is usually needed for the axons regenerating to the distal target organs or tissues, when the distal nerve stump and skeletal muscle usually become atrophy and the regenerated axons lost the ability to remodel in next few months.
