Chitosan tubes enriched with fresh skeletal muscle fibers for delayed repair of peripheral nerve defects

Nerve regeneration after delayed nerve repair is often unsuccessful. Indeed, the expression of genes associated with regeneration, including neurotrophic and gliotrophic factors, is drastically reduced in the distal stump of chronically transected nerves; moreover, Schwann cells undergo atrophy, los...
