 Neural tissue engineering is a promising field of research with the potential to revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders. It involves the use of synthetic materials to create a conducive environment for neuronal growth and regeneration. These materials must be biocompatible, immunologically inert, conductive, biodegradable, and resistant to infection. In addition, they should provide structural support and guidance for neurites to grow along predetermined pathways. Successful neural tissue engineering requires the development of a scaffold that mimics the natural extracellular matrix, ECM, and provides the necessary signals for neuron attachment, proliferation, and differentiation.
