May 2013 in “Biomaterials” In this study, the researchers found that a keratin hydrogel filler in nerve conduits led to earlier Schwann cell migration and improved cellular behaviors compared to other fillers in a rat sciatic nerve model.
August 2026 in “Mendeley Data” This review article systematically summarizes current knowledge on using hair follicle neural crest stem cells and their exosomes for repairing peripheral nerve injuries, focusing on the molecular mechanisms and potential applications. The dataset includes comparison tables and diagrams to visually present findings from existing research.
