Recovery of Peripheral Nerve with Massive Loss Defect by Tissue Engineered Guiding Regenerative Gel

Figure 4

GRG gel is shown to enable nerve regeneration similar to autologous nerve graft reconstruction (gold standard). The graph reflects histological score of the distal part of the nerve (blind examination) in difference between amounts of axons in the GRG group (good amount of axons with tendency to large-diameter axons) versus autologous nerve graft group (good amount of axons).
