Peripheral nerve injury is a common occurrence in both humans and animals, and its consequences are highly debilitating physically, physiologically, and psychologically. Peripheral nerves have a limited capacity to regenerate after injuries; the prognosis is often poor, and long-term motor and sensory impairments are common. Despite the various advances made in recent years in different lines of research, there are still no known therapeutic solutions that guarantee full functional recovery after injury, and traditional surgical approaches continue to be the gold standard.The objective of this Research Topic, integrated in the ISPNR 2024, is to group high-quality research articles and review articles that encompass recent relevant advances in peripheral nerve regeneration after injury, both in a basic and translational research approach. We invite researchers to submit their original research and literature review articles, which encompass new therapies in fields as diverse as cell-based Therapies, Biomaterials, Gene Therapies, Paracrine Therapies, Nutritional Therapies, Conservative Therapies and Computational Research, new or improved functional and imaging assessment methods, and histomorphometric assessment methodologies.ISPNR 2024 will bring together renowned speakers, scientists, and researchers from several countries who are coming together to share their breakthrough research results in the field of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration and build new collaborations, and this Research Topic is open to all participants and speakers at the event, and also to all researchers working on this topic.Areas of research suitable for submission to this Research Topic include, but are not limited to, the following themes:• Principles of research in nerve regeneration and repair• Innovative biomaterials and tissue engineering strategies for peripheral nerve repair and regeneration• Cell-based therapies for peripheral nerve repair and regeneration• Medical, medicinal, and conservative approaches to peripheral nerve regeneration
