How Does Nanotechnology Aid in Nerve Regeneration?
Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale level, typically less than 100 nanometers. This allows for the creation of materials with unique properties that can be used to enhance nerve regeneration. Key applications include:
Nanomaterials that provide scaffolding for nerve growth. Nanoparticles that deliver growth factors or drugs directly to the injury site. Nanosensors that monitor the regeneration process in real-time.
