Abstract:
injuries occurring in the peripheral and central nervous systems are healed by slow or limited endogenous repair. To accelerate this process, microsurgeons have used autografts and allografts to treat the injuries. However, donor morbidity induced by the autograft, limited donor availability and potential risk of immunorejection of the allograft have encouraged the development of potential alternatives such as bioengineered nerve grafts. in this chapter, regeneration of nerve tissue by electrospun nanofibrous grafts will be discussed as a means of solving some ...
