Tissue Engineering Strategies for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Yin Li, Zhenjiang Ma, Ya Ren, Dezhi Lu, Tao Li, Wentao Li, Jinwu Wang, Hui Ma, Jie Zhao
2021 Frontiers in Neurology  
A peripheral nerve injury (PNI) has severe and profound effects on the life of a patient. The therapeutic approach remains one of the most challenging clinical problems.  ...  Given the complexity of nerve regeneration, this review summarizes the pathophysiology and tissue-engineered repairing strategies of the PNI.  ...  That is because the nerve injury causes double damage.
