Popis: Although numerous strategies have been implemented to develop nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) to treat peripheral nerve injury (PNI), functionalization of an NGC to make it remotely controllable for providing spatiotemporal modulation on in situ nerve tissues remains a challenge. In this study, a gelatin/silk (GS) hydrogel was used to develop an NGC based on its self-owned reversible thermoresponsive sol-to-gel phase transformation ability that permitted rapid three-dimensional (3D) micropatterning of the incorporated nerve growth factor (NGF)-loaded magnetic poly(lactic
