The history of resorbable polymers containing glycolide, lactide, ε-caprolactone and
trimethylene carbonate, with a special emphasis being placed on the time frame of the …

Biofabrication techniques have endeavored to improve the regeneration of the peripheral
nervous system (PNS), but nothing has surpassed the performance of current clinical …

In this study, the biocompatibility of the electrically conductive polymer polypyrrole (PPy) with
nerve tissue was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The extraction solution of PPy powder, which …

We have developed a dual-component artificial nerve graft comprising an outer microporous
conduit of chitosan and internal oriented filaments of polyglycolic acid (PGA). The novel graft …

We have fabricated porous, biodegradable tubular conduits for guided tissue regeneration
using a combined solvent casting and extrusion technique. The biodegradable polymers …

High-strength magnetic fields were used to align collagen gel formed into 4-mm-diameter
rods during the self-assembly of type I collagen monomers into fibrils. We developed an in …

The aim of this study was to compare different methods for the evaluation of functional nerve
recovery. Three groups of adult male Wistar rats were studied. In group A, a 12-mm gap …

When elastomers were first proposed as useful materials for regenerative medicine a few
decades ago, their high versatility and suitability for a diverse and wide range of in vivo …

Background Surgical reapposition of peripheral nerve results in some axonal regeneration
and functional recovery, but the clinical outcome in long distance nerve defects is …

Neurite outgrowth from chick dorsal root ganglia entrapped in isotropic and magnetically
aligned fibrin gels was studied, and the dependence on the diameter of the fibrin fibrils was …
