Peripheral nerve regeneration after injury is still a clinical problem. The application of autologous nerve grafting, the gold standard treatment, is greatly restricted. Acellular nerve allografts (ANAs) are considered promising alternatives, but they are difficult to achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes, which may be attributed to their compact inherent ultrastructure and substantial loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Regarding these deficiencies, this study developed an optimized multichannel ANA by a modified decellularization method. These innovative ANAs were demonstrated to retain more ECM bioactive molecules and regenerative factors, with effective elimination of cellular antigens. The presence of microchannels with larger pore size allowed ANAs to gain higher porosity and better swelling performance, which improves their internal ultrastructure. Their mechanical properties were more similar to those of native nerves. Moreover, the optimized ANAs exhibited good biocompatibility and possessed significant advantages in supporting the proliferation and migration of Schwann cells in vitro. The in vivo results further confirmed their superior capacity to promote axon regrowth and myelination as well as restore innervation of target muscles, leading to better functional recovery than the conventional ANAs. Overall, this study demonstrates that the optimized multichannel ANAs have great potential for clinical application and offer new insight into the further improvement of ANAs.
