This paper reviews the history of attempts to study peripheral nerve regeneration, focusing upon pharmacologic agents that may prove to be useful clinically. In particular, forskolin is described as a model for such an agent, and its mechanism of action, as a stimulator of the cyclic AMP second messenger system, is described.
