This study demonstrates improved peripheral nerve regeneration in rats with a biodegradable conduit, indicating Schwann cells may enhance recovery.

Superior regeneration observed with 35.31% higher myelinated nerve density in the treatment group, confirming the conduit's effectiveness.
In vitro MTT assay indicated dose-dependent increase in Schwann cell proliferation with lycopene nanoparticles, enhancing nerve repair outcomes.
The conduit, combining PLGA and MWCNT, features optimized structure with a fiber diameter of 251 nm and tensile strength of 5.86 MPa, ensuring robust performance.
Histopathological analyses highlighted enhanced axonal alignment and remyelination, supporting the conduit's design for nerve repair.
