Current treatments for spinal cord injury (SCI) are extremely limited due to the fact that the central nervous system lacks the intrinsic ability to regenerate, and constitutes a poor environment for regenerative axon growth. Nerve tissue engineering is an emerging field with the aim of repairing or...
