Because of many suitable properties, collagen sponges are used as an acellular implant or
a biomaterial in the field of tissue engineering. Generally, the inner three‐dimensional …

Currently, there is no adequate implant material for the correction of soft tissue defects such
as after extensive deep burns, after tumor resection and in hereditary and congenital defects …

The goal of this study was the development of a bioartificial nerve guide to induce axonal
regeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In this in vitro study, the ability of a novel, …

Therapeutic benefits of autologous nerve grafting in repair of peripheral nerve lesions have
not been reached using any alternative nerve guide. Nevertheless, issues of co-morbidity …

This study investigates the impact of different sterilization processes on structural integrity
and stability of collagen sponges designed for tissue engineering. Collagen sponges with …

Traumatic injury to the nervous system induces functional deficits as a result of axonal
destruction and the formation of scar tissue, cystic cavitation, and physical gaps. Bioengineering …

Rationale and objectives.To evaluate the imaging capabilities of ultrasound (US), computed
tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in monitoring interstitial …

The formation of cystic cavitation following severe spinal cord injury (SCI) constitutes one of
the major barriers to successful axonal regeneration and tissue repair. The development of …

The purpose of the study was to test a newly developed, MR‐compatible, liquid nitrogen‐cooled
cryoprobe. The probe has an outer diameter of 3.5 mm and was specifically developed …

A red blood cell suspension, prepared according to a high-yield HES cryopreservation
protocol, was frozen at selected cooling rates of 50, 220, 1250, 4200, and 13,500 K/min. After …
