The Use of Autologous Schwann Cells to Supplement Sciatic Nerve Repair with a Large Gap: First in Human Experience

Insufficient donor nerve graft material in peripheral nerve surgery remains an obstacle for successful long-distance regeneration. Schwann cells (SCs) can be isolated from adult mammalian peripheral nerve biopsies and can be grown in culture and retain their capacity to enhance peripheral nerve rege...
