title: [Transplantation of peripheral nerves and their tissue constituents to repair axotomized retinal ganglion cells in adult mammals].
abstract: We focus on how peripheral nerves or their tissue constituents including Schwann cells, fibroblasts and neurotrophic factors are used to overcome the unfavorable extrinsic CNS environment and upregulate the intrinsic growth potential of injured neurons for the enhancement of neuronal survival and axonal regeneration of axotomized retinal ganglion cells in adult mammals.
