Abstract EN
The central nervous system (CNS) is the most important section of the nervous system as it regulates the function of various organs.
Injury to the CNS causes impairment of neurological functions in corresponding sites and further leads to long-term patient disability.
CNS regeneration is difficult because of its poor response to treatment and, to date, no effective therapies have been found to rectify CNS injuries.
Biomaterial scaffolds have been applied with promising results in regeneration medicine.
They also show great potential in CNS regeneration for tissue repair and functional recovery.
Biomaterial scaffolds are applied in CNS regeneration predominantly as hydrogels and biodegradable scaffolds.
They can act as cellular supportive scaffolds to facilitate cell infiltration and proliferation.
They can also be combined with cell therapy to repair CNS injury.
This review discusses the categories and progression of the biomaterial scaffolds that are applied in CNS regeneration.
