Nanoparticle Compositions for Sustained Delivery of Pro-regenerative Growth Factors for Nerve Repair, Preparation Processes of the Same, and Treatment Methods Using the Same

Unmet NeedGlobal incidence rates for peripheral nerve injury (PNI) are not well aggregated. However, US data collected shows that 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral nerve injury caused by trauma and medical disorders. [16] When a tension-free early repair is possible, microsurgical direct nerve repair with epineural sutures remains the gold...
