Prompting endogenous repair of brain injury: science fiction or reality?

Mol Neurodegener. 2022 May 31;17(1):38. doi: 10.1186/s13024-022-00539-7.

Abstract

Drug-refractory forms of neurological diseases could find their next breakthrough therapy in non-pharmacological approaches to brain repair. Lentini et al. present the potential of in situ brain regeneration to address neurodegeneration in the epileptic brain.
