Key Points

The aim is to investigate how to customize the degradation rate of X-Ca-Alginate aerogels to enhance nerve regeneration.
Developed X-Ca-Alginate aerogels.
Tested materials with PC 12 cells to assess interaction.
Measured degradation rates over time.
Customized aerogels showed varying degradation rates.
Positive cell growth observed on aerogel surfaces.
Indicated potential for improved nerve repair strategies.

Abstract

Degradable substrates for nerve regeneration are of great interest due to the avoidance of a second surgery to remove nondegradable implants. Aerogels are a class of materials with great promise...
