The Regeneration and Intervention of Neurological Tissue after Acute and Chronic Injuries: from Benchside to Bedside

Neurological injuries, whether acute or chronic, present formidable complications to the human nervous system, responsible for sensory functions, motor control, and cognitive abilities. Over time, medical science has significantly advanced in addressing diseases that lead to neurological impairments; however, the restoration of sensory and motor functions remains critical for enhancing patient quality of life. Given the natural limitations of neural tissues in terms of resilience and regenerative capability, there is a persistent demand for innovative treatments. Current research is increasingly focused on not just mitigating damage causes but more directly on repairing neural tissues to regain lost functionalities.

This Research Topic aims to delve deep into cutting-edge methods for the repair and regeneration of nerve tissues impacted by both types of injuries, emphasizing neurorehabilitation’s pivotal role in advancing patient recovery and outcomes. It seeks to highlight emerging principles and practices like the use of novel biomaterials, cell therapy, pharmacological solutions, and rehabilitation technologies that promise new avenues for neural function recovery. The progress in academic research and the rise in related medical patents suggest a vibrant, evolving landscape, often likened to an industrial revolution in the field of neurological repair.

To ensure a comprehensive exploration of this essential field, our scope is deliberately broad yet focused on areas promising substantial advances in neurorehabilitation. We invite articles on a variety of themes:

o Acute and chronic peripheral nerve damage and their rehabilitative treatments
o Breakthroughs in spinal cord injury repair and patient rehabilitation
o Advances in repairing brain nerve damage caused by trauma or disease
o Innovative rehabilitation strategies and physical therapy practices
o The design and utility of new biomaterials and drugs geared specifically for neural regeneration

We encourage contributions from interdisciplinary teams spanning clinical medicine, rehabilitation sciences, nursing, biochemical research, and medical engineering. This collaborative approach aims to expand research networks, share groundbreaking discoveries, and solidify the foundation for future therapeutic interventions in neurorehabilitation.
