Neural regeneration and repair in the central nervous system are currently hot topics in neuroscience. For many years there has been a hope that neurodegenerative diseases which are resistant to current therapies may be treated by the selective replacement of cells. Yet it is only recently that we have started to acquire the knowledge, tools, and techniques that may translate such optimism into new therapies. In this article, we will consider the potential to restore function to the damaged optic nerve. We will consider the technical issues involved and suggest a strategy for research progress.
中枢神经系统中的神经再生与修复是当前神经科学领域的热门话题。多年来，人们一直希望那些对现有疗法有抗性的神经退行性疾病或许可以通过选择性细胞替代来治疗。然而，直到最近我们才开始获得可能将这种乐观想法转化为新疗法的知识、工具和技术。在本文中，我们将探讨恢复受损视神经功能的潜力。我们将考虑其中涉及的技术问题，并提出研究进展的策略。
