Article Synopsis
- Researchers evaluated biodegradable polymer composites for nerve repair using PC12 cell cultures.
- Polypyrrole (PPy) doped with butane sulfonic acid showed significantly higher cell viability than another type of PPy and allowed for similar growth rates on coated versus uncoated membranes.
- Implanted nerve guidance channels made from these conductive polymers in rats resulted in regenerated nerve tissues resembling native nerves, indicating that electrical stimulation can enhance nerve recovery.
