The peripheral neuropathies in humans could be classified both with clinical criteria and pathological aspects. Between these, only axonal neuropathies are subject to regeneration. Axonal neuropathies present two aspects: wallerian degeneration and dying-back neuropathy. Dying-back neuropathy is the commonest type of human neuropathy but wallerian degeneration has been the most studied model of axonal neuropathy. The regeneration in this case lead to two questions: what is the signal for regeneration and what are the factors which improve the nerve growth?
