Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by a researcher at the University of La Frontera in Temuco, Chile, focused on the development of biocompatible nerve guide conduits (NGCs) for nerve regeneration. The study utilized a method of dip coating and evaporation of solvent with cellulose acetate (CA) functionalized with soy protein acid hydrolysate (SPAH) to manufacture the NGCs. The NGCs were found to have suitable features for peripheral nerve regeneration studies and showed initial biocompatibility with Schwann cells. Further research is needed to determine the ideal concentration of CA and SPAH and to explore the mechanical and physicochemical properties of this biomaterial. [Extracted from the article]
