Ischemia and hypoxia caused by vascular injury intensify nerve damage. Skin precursor-derived Schwann cells have demonstrated an accelerated in vivo pre-vascularization of tissue-engineered nerves. Furthermore, extracellular vesicles from skin precursor-derived Schwann cells (SKP-SC-EVs) show the potential in aiding peripheral nerve regeneration.

The present study delved into the fabrication of the resorcinol formaldehyde (RF)/SiO ceramic particles using the sol-gel route. From SEM images and XRD and XPS analysis, it can be seen that the RF/SiO ceramic particles are successfully generated after heat treatment at 1500 °C.

Intriguingly a series of extracellular vesicles (EVs) have the obvious ability to accelerate the nerve repair. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms to describe that EVs switch neuron from a transmitter to a regenerative state have not been elucidated.

We hope that this review will provide some necessary suggestions for further research on ceramic-based nanomaterials.

Both sandwich structures are derived from hybrid hydrogels doped by two different crosslinkers (with/without oxygen bridge), which can precisely confine Mo source (e.g.
