## Abstract This study proposed a novel and biodegradable nerve guide conduit in its applicability to peripheral nerve regeneration. A naturally occurring proanthocyanidin (PA) was selected as a cross‐linking reagent in preparing the PA‐crosslinked gelatin (PCG) conduit. Experimental results indica

Implantable biodegradable nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) have the potential to align and support regenerating cells, as well as prevent scar formation. In this study in vitro bioassays and in vivo material evaluations were performed using a nerve guidance conduit material made from a novel polyanhyd
## Abstract Chitosan, a nature biodegradable material, has good biocompatibility but poor physical properties to serve as a nerve conduit. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) was added to chitosan to form a composite material with improved intensity and elasticity, to be used as nerve conduits. Th
