Abstract: Spinal cord restoration has inspired thoughtful discussions and gleaned keen insights from the scientific and clinical community at large. Due to the nature of the health complications which are associated with spinal cord injury, spinal cord restoration holds promising potential in significantly improving the quality of life of spinal cord injury sufferers, especially for those who are young. Research has shown that the nerves found in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), exclusively those in the exterior side of the brain and in the spinal cord are capable of regeneration. When these PNS cells were embedded in the damaged spinal cord, it improved restructuring the tissue. However, since spinal cord trauma has become a worldwide problem, several specialists and researchers have put a lot of effort into finding solutions. Axonal restoration, electric invigoration, Netrins, and stem cells among other areas have become fields of focus. Therefore, this research work is aimed at determining insightful abilities on how to regenerate the human motor neurons more so in scientific laboratories. Hence, it would provide robust platforms for the discovery of therapeutic objectives and drug verification.
