Tissue Engineering Strategies for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
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. After PNI, muscle denervation causes atrophy and loss of original function. ...

The success of biomaterial-based tissue engineering strategies for peripheral nerve regeneration
2022
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Peripheral nerve injury is a clinically common injury that causes sensory dysfunction and locomotor system degeneration, which seriously affects the quality of the patients' daily life. ...
Long gapped defects in large nerve are difficult to repair via surgery and limited donor source of autologous nerve greatly challenges the successful nerve repair by transplantation. ...
In addition, many types of physical or chemical stimulation, such as pH, optical signal, and electric current, can also promote nerve repair by activating the release of bioactive factors in neural cells ...

A comparison of the performance of mono- and bi-component electrospun conduits in a rat sciatic model
2014
Biomaterials
However, in vivo studies in rat sciatic nerve defect model show an opposite response: MC conduits stimulate superior nerve regeneration than gelatin containing PCL conduits as confirmed by electrophysiology ...
However, the efficiency of synthetic nerve conduits is often compromised by the lack of molecular factors to create an enriched microenvironment for nerve regeneration. ...
