Several therapeutic approaches are being explored to enhance neural repair. These include:
- Neurotrophic Factor Therapy: Administering neurotrophic factors like NGF, BDNF, and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to promote axonal growth and survival. - Cell Transplantation: Transplanting stem cells or glial cells to replace damaged neural tissue and support regeneration. - Gene Therapy: Using viral vectors to deliver genes encoding neurotrophic factors or growth-promoting proteins to the injury site. - Biomaterials and Scaffolds: Utilizing biodegradable scaffolds to provide structural support and guidance for regenerating axons.
