Abstract:
Neurological disorders usually involve nerve cell damage or death, and traditional treatments have significant limitations in neural repair. Biomimetic approaches mimic the structure and function of biological systems, providing an important approach to neural repair and regeneration. This paper first summarizes the current challenges in treating neurological disorders. It then explores the applications of bioinspired strategies in drug delivery systems (DDS), neural repair, three-dimensional (3D) printed neural scaffolds, and brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) with neuromodulation. Additionally, it discusses the challenges, strategies, advantages, and prospects of bioinspired methods in neurological disease treatment. The aim is to provide a comprehensive perspective on the potential of biomimicry-based methods in this field.
