Growth factors play a central role in the regulation of normal and injury‐induced regenerative cell growth. The purpose of this article is to summarize the available data on the expression of different growth factors and their receptors in the injured peripheral nervous system and to discuss their possible role in promoting peripheral nerve regeneration.
