Axon regeneration refers to the process by which a damaged or injured axon, part of a nerve cell or neuron, repairs itself and re-establishes functional connections. This process is crucial for the recovery of nerve function after injuries such as spinal cord injuries, peripheral nerve injuries, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. While the capacity for regeneration is more pronounced in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), it is limited in the central nervous system (CNS).
