Neuronal regeneration with novel polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan scaffold and stem cells in canine spinal cord injury model: from development to animal studies

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the effectiveness of PVA/CS scaffolds combined with stem cells for neuroregeneration in spinal cord injury.
• Development of polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan scaffolds.
• Application of stem cell therapy in conjunction with stabilization treatment.
• Animal model studies using canines with spinal cord injury.
• PVA/CS scaffolds demonstrated positive support for neuronal growth.
• Stem cell therapy showed enhanced neuroregeneration outcomes.
• Combined treatment indicated a significant improvement over traditional methods.
