The peripheral nervous system retains a considerable capacity for regeneration. However, functional recovery rarely returns to the preinjury level no matter how accurate the nerve repair is, and the more proximal the injury the worse the recovery. Among a variety of approaches being used to enhance
## Abstract Regeneration in the peripheral nervous system is often incomplete though it is uncertain which factors, such as the type and extent of the injury or the method or timing of repair, determine the degree of functional recovery. Serial electrophysiological techniques were used to follow re
## Abstract Tubular scaffolds demonstrated to be able to reconnect the proximal and distal stumps of transected peripheral nerves and induce regeneration of the lost nerve trunk. Recently, a spinning technique has been developed, able to produce tubular collagenβbased scaffolds characterized by a r
