One of the main differences between the adult mammalian’s central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems (PNS) is the capability to regenerate. It has long been thought that neurons in the CNS do not regenerate after injury. As depicted in Cajal’s dogma,“Once development was ended, the founts of growth and regeneration of the axons and dendrites dried up irrevocably. In adult centers, the nerve paths are something fixed, ended, and immutable. Everything may die. Nothing may be regenerated”(Ramón y Cajal, 1969). Yet, intensive studies over the past few decades have revealed that injured CNS axons can regain their growth ability after manipulating intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Unraveling the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon will greatly advance the neurodegeneration and regeneration field and the development of therapeutic methods.Unlike the well-regenerating peripheral nerves, CNS axons invariably fail to regenerate after injury, resulting in permanent functional deficits. Researchers and physicians understand that tissues and organs change in many ways after injury or during pathological conditions. After an injury, the formation of scar tissue induced by glia cells and immune response, alters the local anatomical structure (Brosius Lutz and Barres, 2014; Silver et al., 2014). As a physical and molecular wall used to prevent intense inflammation and protect remaining fragile tissue, the scar is an essential part of wound healing after brain and spinal cord injuries (Silver and Miller, 2004). The astroglial component of the scar wall is formed by serial steps:(a) the rapid migration of astrocytes (Fitch and Silver, 1997; George and Griffin, 1994),(b) the proliferation of reactive astrocytes (gliosis) that reside at the lesion margin (Aldskogius and Kozlova, 1998; Bush et al., 1999; Wanner et al., 2013),(c) the accumulation of intermediate filament proteins (predominantly glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP]) secreted by reactive astrocytes (Bardehle et al., 2013; Liuzzi and Lasek, 1987; Pekny et al., 1999),(d) the restructuring of the gliotic layer into a mesh-like envelope (Bardehle et al., 2013; Wanner et al., 2013), and (e) the production of a variety of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules (Busch and Silver, 2007; Yamaguchi, 2000). The physical wall of the gliotic envelope has been considered an unsupportive environment for regenerating axons to overcome. The expression of GFAP, and the upregulation of ECM proteins, including chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs), which are associated with regeneration failure in the injured area (Filous et al., 2010; Yiu and He, 2006). Thus, it is
