Abstract
Wirelessly directed nerve regeneration: inductively powered electrical stimulation circuits on the biodegradable polymer polycaprolactone demonstrate directed regeneration of sensory neurons from a dorsal root ganglion. These circuits, produced using a unique transfer printing process, illustrate progress towards the use of electrical stimulation systems on biodegradable materials to improve peripheral nerve repair functional outcomes.
