Electrospun and woven silk fibroin/poly(lactic-co- glycolic acid) nerve guidance conduits for repairing peripheral nerve injury

We have designed a novel nerve guidance conduit (NGC) made from silk fibroin and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) through electrospinning and weaving (ESP-NGCs). Several physical and biological properties of the ESP-NGCs were assessed in order to evaluate their biocompatibility. The physical properties...
