Viscous injectable pure alginate sol inhibited adhesion formation around nerves and enhanced regeneration of the perineurium with barrier function. Because excessive perineurial fibrosis and tethering at the neurolysis or neurorrhaphy site is a common postoperative problem in peripheral nerve surgery, viscous injectable pure alginate sol appears to have potentially broad clinical applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
