Silkworm silk biomaterials for spinal cord repair: promise for combinatorial therapies

摘要

Background:Traumatic injury to the adult mammalian spinal cord results in minimal axonal regrowth,cystic cavity formation at the injury site,poor functional recovery and there is no cure available.Due to the complex nature of spinal cord injury(SCI),a combination of therapeutic strategies may offer the most promise for successful regeneration(Ahuja et al.,2017).A key element
