Electrical Stimulation Increases Axonal Growth from Dorsal Root Ganglia Co-Cultured with Schwann Cells in Highly Aligned PLA-PPy-Au Microfiber Substrates

Electrical Stimulation Increases Axonal Growth from Dorsal Root Ganglia Co-Cultured with Schwann Cells in Highly Aligned PLA-PPy-Au Microfiber Substrates

Nerve regeneration is a slow process that needs to be guided for distances greater than 5 mm. For this reason, different strategies are being studied to guide axonal growth and accelerate the axonal growth rate. In this study, we employ an electroconductive fibrillar substrate that is able to topogr...
