Neural tissue engineering
open-in-new
<p>Neural tissue engineering is a specific sub-field of <a href="/facts/Tissue_engineering/Tx77KG1S">tissue engineering</a>. <a href="/facts/Nervous_tissue/YY7qG0WD">Neural tissue</a> engineering is primarily a search for strategies to eliminate inflammation and fibrosis upon implantation of foreign substances. Often foreign substances in the form of grafts and scaffolds are implanted to promote <a href="/facts/Nerve_regeneration/2wAxXAF2">nerve regeneration</a> and to repair nerves of both the <a href="/facts/Central_nervous_system/k8I6To97">central nervous system</a> (CNS) and <a href="/facts/Peripheral_nervous_system/KjVpVnHU">peripheral nervous system</a> (PNS) due to injury. </p>
