A 3D-engineered porous conduit for peripheral nerve repair
End-to-end neurorrhaphy is the most commonly used method for treating peripheral nerve injury. However, only 50% of patients can regain useful function after treating with neurorrhaphy. Here, we constructed a 3D-engineered porous conduit to promote the function recovery of the transected peripheral nerve after neurorrhaphy. The conduit that consisted of a gelatin cryogel was prepared by molding...
متن کاملEngineered neural tissue for peripheral nerve repair.
A new combination of tissue engineering techniques provides a simple and effective method for building aligned cellular biomaterials. Self-alignment of Schwann cells within a tethered type-1 collagen matrix, followed by removal of interstitial fluid produces a stable tissue-like biomaterial that recreates the aligned cellular and extracellular matrix architecture associated with nerve grafts. S...
متن کاملEngineering a multimodal nerve conduit for repair of injured peripheral nerve.
Injury to nerve tissue in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) results in long-term impairment of limb function, dysaesthesia and pain, often with associated psychological effects. Whilst minor injuries can be left to regenerate without intervention and short gaps up to 2 cm can be sutured, larger or more severe injuries commonly require autogenous nerve grafts harvested from elsewhere in the bo...
متن کاملUse of Vein Conduit and Isolated Nerve Graft in Peripheral Nerve Repair: A Comparative Study
Aims and Objectives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of vein conduit in nerve repair compared with isolated nerve graft. Materials and Methods. This retrospective study was conducted at author's centre and included a total of 40 patients. All the patients had nerve defect of more than 3 cm and underwent nerve repair using nerve graft from sural nerve. In 20 cases, vein c...
متن کاملTissue-engineered Peripheral Nerve
Nerve injuries occur by a variety of mechanisms, including traumatic wounds, thermal or chemical damage, myelin or axonal degeneration, and acute compression. These injuries typically result in the loss of motor function, sensory function, or both. Functional recovery is regained upon complete axonal regeneration, which includes remyelination and reinnervation (i.e., synapse formation) of the a...
