Spider silk constructs enhance axonal regeneration and remyelination in long nerve defects in sheep.

Spider silk constructs enhance axonal regeneration and remyelination in long nerve defects in sheep.

BACKGROUND: Surgical reapposition of peripheral nerve results in some axonal regeneration and functional recovery, but the clinical outcome in long distance nerve defects is disappointing and research continues to utilize further interventional approaches to optimize functional recovery. We describe...
