Popis: |
Tissue-engineered nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are an area of research interest and investment. Currently, two separate three-dimensional, filled NGCs have Food and Drug Administration approval in the management of nerve gaps up to 3 cm in length, with more on the horizon. Future NGC options will leverage increasingly intricate designs to mimic the natural biology and architecture of native nerve tissue. To enhance the development of next-generation NGCs, experimental protocols and models should be standardized. For the NGCs currently on the market, more clinical data and randomized comparative studies are needed. |
