"Guided neurite growth is critical in both peripheral nervous system and central nervous system nerve regeneration. Scaffolds that provide structural and guidance cues for neuronal cells have a potential role in neural regeneration application," investigators in Galway, Ireland report.

"Type I collagen is suitable to be processed as an engineered scaffold for nerve regeneration because of its biological and structural properties. A few previous studies have shown that cross-linking of collagen scaffolds with microbial transglutaminase improves the mechanical strength and degradation properties of the scaffolds. It was shown that laminin 5 can regulate neurite outgrowth...
