The role of stem cells and biomaterials in peripheral nervous system regeneration

Abstract

Peripheral nerve injuries present significant challenges to patients and require intensive and costly treatments. The utilization of biomaterials is an effective treatment method. Personalized biomaterials are promising for the regeneration of damaged peripheral nerves. Stem cells have an important role in modern treatment methods because of their properties and promise to solve diseases requiring tissue regeneration, such as peripheral nerve damage. In this review, we aimed to investigate the relationship between stem cells and biomaterials, considering their different origins and potential compatibility in facilitating the regeneration of peripheral nerve injury.
