Abstract

The present invention relates to a peripheral nerve-specific hydrogel material, which is deliverable in a minimally invasive fashion, sustains the growth of neurons, and speeds recovery following surgical reconstruction.

Claims (5)

1. A hydrogel comprising a decellularized peripheral nerve scaffold that has been enzymatically degraded to form a hydrogel, wherein the hydrogel promotes peripheral nerve repair.

2. The hydrogel of claim 1 , comprised in a conduit.

3. The hydrogel of claim 1 , where the peripheral nerve is non-autologous to an intended recipient of the hydrogel.

4. The hydrogel of claim 3 , where the peripheral nerve is from an organism that is the same species as the intended recipient.

5. The hydrogel of claim 3 , where the peripheral nerve is from an organism that is not the same species as the intended recipient.
