摘要

Peripheral nerve injury and nerve conduit manufacturing The global nerve injury repair and regeneration market is expected to reach $9.7 billion by 2025,a compound annual growth rate of 9.1％ between 2020 and 2025 [1].One com-ponent alone,peripheral nerve injury (PNI),encompasses 5 million new cases worldwide every year [2].Although nerve autograft is considered the gold standard for PNI repair,this process suffers because of a short supply of autologous nerves as well as potential harm caused to the donor.In recent decades,as a promising alternative to autografts,nerve conduits have attracted significant atten-tion,and the design and manufacturing of nerve conduits are the cutting edge of the treatment of PNI [3].
