Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Peripheral nerve defects pose a significant clinical challenge, with autologous nerve transplantation as the current standard treatment.
  • Tissue-engineered nerve (TEN) grafts offer a promising alternative, with bionic designs emerging as a key research focus for enhanced repair.
  • Improving TEN graft efficacy requires biomimetic structures and compositions that support nerve regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and fabricate a novel bionic tissue-engineered nerve (TEN) graft with biomimetic structural and compositional features.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of the developed bionic TEN graft in repairing peripheral nerve defects in a rat model.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a chitin helical scaffold from chitosan via mold casting and acetylation.
  • Electrospinning of a fibrous membrane onto the chitin scaffold's outer layer.
  • Filling the scaffold lumen with extracellular matrix and fibers derived from human bone mesenchymal stem cells.
  • Surgical transplantation of the bionic TEN graft to bridge 10 mm sciatic nerve defects in rats.

Main Results:

  • The bionic TEN graft successfully bridged the 10 mm sciatic nerve defects in the rat model.
  • Morphological and functional assessments revealed that the repair outcomes of the bionic TEN grafts were comparable to those of autografts.
  • The biomimetic design provided essential nutrition and topographic guidance for nerve regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • The novel bionic TEN graft, featuring a biomimetic structure and composition, demonstrates significant potential for peripheral nerve defect repair.
  • This bionic TEN graft offers a promising alternative to autografts, presenting a new avenue for clinical applications in nerve regeneration.
  • The study highlights the successful integration of biomimetic principles in tissue engineering for enhanced neural repair.
