An immunoregulation PLGA/Chitosan aligned nanofibers with polydopamine coupling basic fibroblast growth factor and ROS scavenging for peripheral nerve regeneration.

ABSTRACT: The repair and functional recovery of long-segment peripheral nerve injuries are crucial in clinical settings. Nerve conduits are seen as promising alternatives to autologous nerve grafts, but their effectiveness is limited by the controlled delivery of bioactive factors and meeting various functional requirements during different stages of repair. This research developed multifunctional nerve conduits using electrospinning and polydopamine (PDA) coating techniques to integrate bioactive substances. Chitosan-composite PLGA electrospun nerve conduits demonstrated exceptional mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Nanofibers with specific topological structures effectively promoted oriented cell growth. The PDA coating provided ROS scavenging and immune modulation functions. The bFGF gr
