Preparation of electrospun chitosan fibres for Schwann cell-guided axonal growth

Schwann cell-seeded guidance channels have been exploited to bridge and guide axonal re-growth across gaps in lesioned nerves. Mis-orientation of Schwann cells in the channels can however distort axonal growth within the lesion. We therefore propose to orient the growth of Schwann cells on aligned n...
