Nerve regeneration, polymeric

Another area where polymers are making a significant difference in nerve regeneration is the use of polymers to encapsulate and release trophic factors, or encapsulate cells that release nerve growth factor or other agents that enhance the regeneration process. This chapter details the advances in the use of polymeric biomaterials that have been explored for nerve regeneration in the peripheral and central nervous systems. [Pg.48]

Current polymeric entubulization repair methods for peripheral nerve regeneration use various nondegradable and biodegradable materials. The most common nondegradable material investigated has been silicone rubber. Medical grade silicone rubber, polydimethylsiloxane, maintains its shape and can be filled with neurotrophic factors or extracellular... [Pg.48]

In addition to the toxicity owing to Cremophor, taxol itself is mainly neuropathic, both upon injection (76i), as a result of problems arising from nerve regeneration, as well as 1 to 3 days after injection 164). Other authors (765) have detected epithelial necrosis in the gastrointestinal tract as a result of the accumulation of polymerized microtubules and consequent mitotic arrest. [Pg.232]
