Popis: Introduction Nerve tubes seeded with cultured Schwann cells have become a promising alternative to nerve autografts. However, the functional results of these bioartificial cellular grafts remain to be improved. To imitate the three-dimensional structure of peripheral nerves, we designed a Schwann cell-seeded intrinsic framework within a semi-permeable biodegradable collagen nerve tube (Integra® ).
