Regenerative therapy has evolved significantly in recent years with promising approaches to restore function of diseased, damaged and aged tissues and organs. It is a highly interdisciplinary field that has been made possible by the intersection of recent advances in bioengineering, stem cell biology and nanotechnology. Incorporation of nanotechnology may allow better control over physicochemical and biological properties of a biomaterial compared to conventional technologies. Nanotechnology applications to regenerative therapy have all the potential to revolutionize tissue regeneration and repair, and ultimately personalized medicine. This theme issue of Advanced Drug Delivery Review provides comprehensive and critical reviews of recent developments, future directions, and possible challenges in advancing regenerative therapy for treating neurological disorders using nanotechnology. This issue has covered the fabrication, characterization, imaging, and theranostic applications of nanotechnology-based systems in central nervous system (CNS) including brain and spinal cord, eye and peripheral nerve regeneration. It also reviews in detail the progress of nanotechnology in speeding up stem cell research and development for regenerative neurological medicine. Furthermore, this theme issue discusses nanoneurotoxicity and hurdles in nanomedicine clinical translation and strategies for preclinical evaluation of nanocarriers for regeneration and repair in the nervous system. Nanomaterials as tools for understanding CNS disease pathology, neuroplasticity as a target for biomaterial-based therapies for stroke, nanotheranostics as a combined diagnostic and therapeutic entity for personalized medicine in neurological disorders, nanomaterials as gene delivery devices to reprogram cells for ocular regeneration, nanomaterials as immunomodulators to restore healthy immune system for neuronal regeneration, and the use of zebrafish as a model for evaluating neuroregenerative therapeutics are some of the unique and promising topics featured in this theme issue.
