Combining electrospun polydioxanone scaffolds, Schwann cells, and Matrigel to improve functional recovery after a complete spinal cord transection in rats

Spinal cord injury (SCI) has presented itself as a multifaceted pathology that is largely inhibitory to regeneration, and therefore to functional recovery, even though spinal cord neurons have been found to be innately regenerative. Thus, having identified the key players in the inhibition of this i...
