Study Data from Nantong University Provide New Insights into Tissue Engineering (Progress in methods for evaluating Schwann cell myelination and axonal growth in peripheral nerve regeneration via scaffolds).

A study conducted by researchers at Nantong University in China explores the field of tissue engineering and its potential applications in peripheral nerve regeneration. Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a significant global issue caused by trauma, accidents, war, and surgical complications. The study focuses on the development of artificial nerve scaffolds that can guide Schwann cell myelination and axonal growth, which are crucial for nerve regeneration. The researchers discuss various evaluation methods used to assess the effectiveness of these scaffolds in promoting Schwann cell functions and axonal growth in regenerated nerves.
