Abstract | Damage to the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is remarkably common and occurs mainly as a result from trauma or complications of surgery [1]. Although recovery of nerve function occurs in some mild injuries, outcomes are frequently poor following severe trauma, resulting in long-term impairment of limb function, dysaesthesia and pain, often with associated psychological effects [2]. As consequence, this issue has been raising major concerns in regenerative medicine for several years as unsatisfactory recovery continues to be a significant clinical challenge [3] |
