Tissue engineering to develop alternatives for the maintenance, restoration, or
enhancement of injured tissues and organs is gaining more and more attention. In tissue …

Nerve diseases including acute injury such as peripheral nerve injury (PNI), spinal cord
injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), and chronic disease like neurodegeneration …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic lesion that diminishes sensory and/or motor neuronal
functionality, directly affecting the quality of the patient's life. Due to the central nervous …

Context: The nervous system is the most important system of the body and damaging this
system could be lethal for humans. Restoring the function of a damaged nervous system has …

Electrospinning is a fabrication technique used to produce nano-or micro-diameter fibers to
generate biocompatible, biodegradable scaffolds for tissue engineering applications …

Nerve regeneration is a slow process that needs to be guided for distances greater than 5
mm. For this reason, different strategies are being studied to guide axonal growth and …

The acidic nature of the degradation products of polyesters often leads to unpredictable
clinical complications, such as necrosis of host tissues and massive immune cell invasions …

Biodegradable polymers are appealing material for the manufacturing of surgical implants
as such implants break down in vivo, negating the need for a subsequent operation for …

The “nerve guide conduits”(NGC) used in nerve regeneration must mimic the natural
environment for proper cell behavior. Objective: To describe the main morphological …

Nanofibrous poly (propylene carbonate)(PPC)/gelatin composite scaffolds were fabricated
by the electrospinning process and characterized for tissue engineering applications. Using …
