Abstract: The neuromuscular junction and its proregenerative niche: The mammalian peripheral nervous system, unlike the central nervous system, has preserved throughout evolution the ability to regenerate and fully restore function. Key factors for effective nerve regeneration include a supportive neuronal environment and a coordinated tissue response (Brosius Lutz and Barres, 2014)
