Surface biology of collagen scaffold explains blocking of wound contraction and regeneration of skin and peripheral nerves

We review the details of preparation and of the recently elucidated mechanism of biological (regenerative) activity of a collagen scaffold (dermis regeneration template, DRT) that has induced regeneration of skin and peripheral nerves (PN) in a variety of animal models and in the clinic. DRT is a 3D...
