At present the end results of reconstruction of peripheral nerve injuries cannot be considered unequivocally advantageous. It seems that the level of reconstructive possibilities of these injuries has already peaked. Hence, ongoing research focuses on experimental studies to further improve results. One of the methods is the joint usage of pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells with tissue inductive polypeptides (growth factors) and frame structures to enhance the attachment of these cells with the aim creating new neural tissue (tissue engineering). The conditions to create new tissue can be further improved by gene technology. Based on recent literature data, the author summarizes the basic characteristics of the method related to nerve injuries, and the possibilities and modalities of clinical applications. In conclusion, future direction is a the wider use of stem cells, however, the currently established surgical and rehabilitation methods have to be performed at high levels since stem cell research data are not established in the clinical setting yet.

AbstractVarious immune cells and cytokines are present in the aftermath of peripheral nerve injuries (PNI), and coordination of the local inflammatory response is of great significance for the recovery of PNI. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory abilities which can accelerate tissue regeneration and attenuate inflammation, but the role of MSCs in the regulation of the local inflammatory microenvironment after PNI has not been widely studied. Here, we summarize the known interactions between MSCs, immune cells, and inflammatory cytokines following PNI with a focus on the immunosuppressive role of MSCs. We also discuss the immunomodulatory potential of MSC-derived extracellular vesicles as a new cell-free treatment for PNI.

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are some of the most common types of traumatic lesions affecting the nervous system. Although the peripheral nervous system has a higher regenerative ability than the central nervous system, delayed treatment is associated with disturbances in both distal sensory and functional abilities. Over the past decades, adult stem cell-based therapies for peripheral nerve injuries have drawn attention from researchers. This is because various stem cells can promote regeneration after peripheral nerve injuries by differentiating into neural-line cells, secreting various neurotrophic factors, and regulating the activity of in situ Schwann cells (SCs). This article reviewed research from the past 10 years on the role of stem cells in the repair of PNIs. We concluded that adult stem cell-based therapies promote the regeneration of PNI in various ways.
