Construction of tissue-engineered nerves is a novel solution for repairing peripheral nerve defects. The sciatic nerve is the largest peripheral nerve in the body and is known to have a relatively constant anatomical position, sufficient diameter to be easily exposed and operated upon with good repeatability, satisfactory local blood circulation, and is difficult to infect. Owing to these advantages, rat models of sciatic nerve defects are commonly used to study nerve regeneration and repair.展开更多

Several factors pose a challenge for neural regeneration following spinal cord injury. First, glial scars and cavities, which form after spinal cord injury, hinder axonal growth and result in degenerative necrosis of the nerve fibers. Second.展开更多
