Biodegradable polyurethane nerve conduits functionalized with NDP-MSH-loaded self-assembling peptide hydrogels for peripheral nerve regeneration
Abstract
A biodegradable BWPU nerve conduit with a pH-responsive self-assembling peptide depot releases NDP-MSH to reduce ROS/apoptosis and promote M2 macrophages, enabling sciatic nerve repair comparable to autografts.
