Abstract

3D-Printed Nerve Conduits Engineered nerve conduits (NCs) efficacy in restoring limiting gap lesions is still poor, due to low biomimicry. In article 2300136, Silvestro Micera, Xavier Navarro, and co-workers present an NC design that for the first time combines 3D-printing and freeze-drying techniques to yield conduits with tunable physiochemical properties. NCs restore limiting gap lesions of rat's sciatic nerve and can be therefore considered an alternative to autologous transplant. Image credit: Dr. Alessio Tommasetti, D'Arc Studio.
