Editorial: Myelin-Mediated Inhibition of Axonal Regeneration: Past, Present, and Future

“…The impact of a scientist's work is often expressed using simple numbers found in citation reports, journal impact factors, and h-indices, but perhaps the truest measure is the respect of their peers. By this metric, the impact of Dr. Marie T. Filbin's life and career was profound, as evidenced by the many articles published by friends and colleagues in remembrance of Marie since her passing (Ashe and Roskams, 2014; Maddox, 2014; Melendez-Vasquez, 2014; Roskams et al, 2014; Stephenson, 2014). For those of us who had the privilege of working in her laboratory, our fond personal memories are intertwined with a deep desire to preserve and promote her scientific legacy, and this was the driving force behind this Frontiers Research Topic.…”
