The possibility of combining acupuncture and tissue engineering in treating peripheral nerve injury

Journal Title: Science Paper Online - Year 2006, Vol 1, Issue 4

Abstract

Tissue engineering is a new method of nerve repairing. However, ideal scaffolds used in tissue engineering have not been found. The major reason is that pure implanting scaffolds can not offer neurotrophic factors and can not form enough blood vessels which are very important in the process of nerve recovering. Acupuncture is a traditional method in promoting nerve repairing for it can increase the secretion of the neural factors and enhance supplying of the blood. In addition, acupuncture can directionally induce the nerve regeneration and delay the degeneration of the muscles. If combine both of above fields, maybe we would find a new way and strategy in treating injury of nerve.
