Abstract

The healing process for spinal cord injuries is complex and presents many challenges. Current advances in nerve regeneration are based on promising tissue engineering techniques, However, the chances of success depend on better mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) of neural tissue and better supporting neurons in a three-dimensional environment. The ECM provides excellent biological conditions, including desirable morphological features, electrical conductivity, and chemical compositions for neuron attachment, proliferation and function. This review outlines the rationale for developing a construct for neuron regrowth in spinal cord injury using appropriate biomaterials and scaffolding techniques. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
