Peripheral nerve regeneration: On the 145^th Anniversary of Professor Boris S. Doynikov

Abstract

This year marks the 145^th anniversary of the birth of Boris Semyonovich Doynikov (1879–1948), an outstanding Russian physician and scientist renowned for his research in the histology and pathology of the central and peripheral nervous systems. His scientific works are regarded as classical contributions to the study of traumatic nerve alterations caused by chemical and mechanical injuries. The clinical and morphological analyses he conducted on the structure of somatic and autonomic nerves, as well as on their degeneration and regeneration following injury, remain among the most comprehensive in the global scientific literature and are of increasing practical relevance today.
