Fabrication and characterization of 3D-printed gellan gum/starch composite scaffold for Schwann cells growth

Peripheral nerve injury has seriously affected patient’s health and life. Schwann cells play an important role in peripheral nerve regeneration. However, the effect of the current tissue engineered scaffolds for promoting Schwann cells growth is still not as good as that of autologous graft. In this...
