Building Biocompatible Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering of the Brain and Spinal Cord
Tissue engineering strategies employing biomaterials have made great progress in the last few decades. However, the tissues of the brain and spinal cord pose unique challenges due to a separate immune system and their nature as soft tissue. Because of this, neural tissue engineering for the brain an...
