Axonal Elongation into Peripheral Nervous System 'Bridges' After Central Nervous System Injury in Adult Rats

Samuel David & Albert Aguayo

Shows severed CNS axons will regrow for long distances if given a peripheral nerve graft to grow through, evidence that the failure of CNS regeneration is about the surrounding environment rather than an intrinsic incapacity of the neuron.

Regeneration Beyond the Glial Scar

Jerry Silver & Jared Miller

Argues the glial scar after CNS injury is not simply a mechanical barrier but a chemical one, dense with molecules that actively inhibit axon regrowth, reframing regeneration failure as something to counteract rather than a wound to heal.
