متن کاملExperimental Approaches on Tissue Engineering Repair of Peripheral Nerve Gaps
Peripheral nerve research is highly dynamic and a current major focus is the development of cell based supportive therapies as well as bioengineered nerve conduits to overcome the challenges in reconstructing long peripheral nerve defects. Whenever primary nerve repair cannot be performed without regeneration impairing tension at the suture sites, autologous nerve grafting or nerve tubulization...
متن کاملElectrospun Nanofibers and their Application in Tissue Repair and Engineering
Introduction: Tissue engineering is the repair and replacement of damaged tissues and requires a combination of cells, growth factor and porous scaffolds. Scaffolds, as one of the main components in tissue engineering, are used as a template for tissue regeneration and induction and guidance of growth of the new and biologically active tissues. An ideal scaffold in tissue engineering, imitating...
متن کاملLaser Phototherapy: A New Modality for Nerve Cell Tissue Engineering Technology, Cell Therapy and Nerve Repair
Studies, which evaluated the effects of 632.8nm and 780nm laser irradiation on Schwann 1 and nerve cell 2 cultures and injured peripheral nerves of animals 3-7 showed positive results. Laser phototherapy induces Schwann cell proliferation 1 and affects nerve cell metabolism and induces nerve processes sprouting 2. Laser phototherapy significantly improves recovery of the injured peripheral nerv...
متن کاملRepairing peripheral nerve injury using tissue engineering techniques
Each year approximately 360,000 people in the United States suffer a peripheral nerve injury (PNI), which is a leading source of lifelong disability (Kelsey et al., 1997; Noble et al., 1998). The most frequent cause of PNIs is motor vehicle accidents, while gunshot wounds, stabbings, and birth trauma are also common factors. Patients suffering from disabilities as a result of their PNIs are als...
