Application of tissue engineered nerve in repair of peripheral nerve defects / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Regeneration of injured peripheral nerve is one of the recent research focuses. Many inspiring achievements have been made in such fields as choice of seeding cell source and proliferation in vitro. It is hopeful that nerve regeneration may be enhanced by combining the new techniques with microsurgery. In this paper, design and fabrication principles, key technologies, various applications, and new directions in the field of tissue engineered nerve are introduced. Much of this paper is devoted to the discussion of tissue engineered nerve in repair of peripheral nerve injury.
