Dextran-based tube-guides for the regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve after neurotmesis injury

In this work, dextran-based nerve tube-guides were prepared, characterized and used in a standardized animal model of neurotmesis injury. Non-porous and porous transparent tube-guides were obtained by photocrosslinking of two co-macromonomers based on dextran and poly( -caprolactone) (PCL). Swelling...
