Hello all,
Here is a recent talk on youtube of the latest research theories and findings on nerve regeneration.
Challenges and Beauty of Peripheral Nerve Regrowth

If you don't let yourself get overwhelmed by the medical jargon and just try to pick up the key themes, it gives a very rough idea of where they are and what they think about how nerve regeneration/repair may work and how it hits roadblocks. (Perhaps it helps to listen to some of the other youtube videos on the very basics of nerve regeneration first).
The final summary slide is the best for wrapping up the key thoughts.
Generally I am amazed what I learn from youtube on neuropathy (if I stay away from the salesy-gimmicky gunk and stick with the reputable sources).
I find it a helpful resource to learn the basics of what is going on. I search for all kinds of basic medical talks and possible solutions under the sun and just play it in the background while doing other stuff around the house or doing my neuropathy exercises.
Somehow my brain filters out the fuzzy stuff out of my reach and then my ears perk up when they start covering something that can help me. I really pick up a lot.
Hope this is helpful,
Natalie
