Abstract
Peripheral nerve injuries are a common clinical condition for which the understanding of the pathophysiology and advances in the field of nerve regeneration are important to provide the best treatment for patients. In recent years, it has been giving increasing importance to the regenerative events after injury, where it operates largely unique phenotypic expression in this process, derived from cells already present, key event for the recovery of nerve function injured. A review of the literature is done with the aim of a better understanding of this regenerative event, finding a series of cellular and molecular processes that go on axonal level.
