Background
Using the rat sciatic nerve model, sliced nerves of different thickness was combined to a biodegradable nerve conduit and the amount of nerve fragment necessary to promote nerve regeneration was investigated.
Materials and Methods
Harvested sciatic nerve (n = 6) was processed in sliced nerve of the different width; 2, 1, 0.5 mm, respectively. Western blot analysis was carried out to...
The cover image is based on the Original Article Use of sliced or minced peripheral nerve segments for nerve regeneration through a biodegradable nerve conduit: A preliminary study in the rat by Yoshiaki Nagumo et al., https://doi.org/10.1002/micr.30662.
Background
Using the rat sciatic nerve model, the difference in outcome using a nerve segment either sliced open or minced with a blade incorporated into a nerve conduit were compared and the relative effects upon the rate and completeness of the nerve regeneration was determined.
Materials and Methods
A 10‐mm gap was created in the rat sciatic nerve and bridged with a biodegradable nerve conduit...
