The authors suggest that axonal regeneration occurs in axotomized peripheral nerves as a result of cytosolic reduced galectin 1 being released from Schwann cells and injured axons, which then becomes oxidized in the extracellular space. Oxidized galectin 1 then stimulates macrophages to secrete a factor that promotes axonal growth and Schwann cell migration, thus enhancing peripheral nerve regeneration.

Dramatic changes in Schwann cells occurred in the absence of axon degeneration and axonal swelling and before there were any detectable alterations in nerve conduction velocity. Chronic nerve compression induces Schwann cell turnover with minimal axonal injury and supports the idea that mechanical stimuli have a direct mitogenic effect on Schwann cells.
