We have analyzed the advancements in the treatment of spinal cord injury, traumatic brain jury. Encouraging outcomes injury and peripheral nerve in- have been achieved in the area of regulating axon growth in vivo and in vitro. However, such a large amount of information neither provides in-depth insight for other scholars nor provides detailed therapeutic nrotocols for clinical studies.展开更多
