RANDOMLY ORIENTED, FGF-2- MODIFIED NANOFIBER DEVICE FOR USE IN SPINAL CORD REPAIR

摘要

The invention relates to a device composed of a plurality of strips of randomly oriented nanofibers, wherein said strips are arranged along their longitudinal axes. In addition, the surface of the device's nanofibers are covalently modified with fibroblast growth f actor-2. A method for using the instant device for facilitating axonal regeneration in spinal cord injury is also provided.
