Nanofibrous scaffolds for the guidance of stem cell-derived neurons for auditory nerve regeneration.

Nanofibrous scaffolds for the guidance of stem cell-derived neurons for auditory nerve regeneration.

Impairment of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) of the auditory nerve is a major cause for hearing loss occurring independently or in addition to sensory hair cell damage. Unfortunately, mammalian SGNs lack the potential for autonomous regeneration. Stem cell based therapy is a promising approach for a...
