Helping Badly Damaged Nerves Regrow And Work Again - Nerve Guidance Conduits Show Promise

According to a study published in the journal Biofabrication, engineers from the University of Sheffield have developed a new method called nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), which naturally helps repairing nerves that have been damaged by traumatic accidents. The new technique could also improve the chances of restoring movement and sensation in injured limbs. The study entitled,"Two-photon polymerization-generated and micromolding-replicated 3-D scaffolds for peripheral neural tissue engineering applications", was conducted in collaboration with Laser Zentrum Hannover, Germany...
