Tissue Engineered Bands of Büngner for Accelerated Motor and Sensory Axonal Outgrowth

Tissue Engineered Bands of Büngner for Accelerated Motor and Sensory Axonal Outgrowth

Following peripheral nerve injury comprising a segmental defect, the extent of axon regeneration decreases precipitously with increasing gap length. Schwann cells play a key role in driving axon re-growth by forming aligned tubular guidance structures called bands of Büngner, which readily occurs in...
