According to recent research published in the journal Tissue Engineering Part a, "Peripheral nerve regeneration within guidance conduits involves a critical association between regenerating axons, Schwann cells (SCs), and neovascularization. However, it is currently unknown if there is a greater association between these factors in nonpermeable versus semipermeable nerve guide conduits."
"We therefore examined this collaboration in both silicone- and collagen-based nerve conduits in both 5- and 10-mm-injury gaps in rat sciatic nerves. collagen conduits promoted enhanced axonal and SC regeneration and association when compared to silicone conduits in the shorter ...
