Generation and application of human pluripotent stem cells derived peri-nervoids

Autologous nerve grafts remain the gold standard for peripheral nerve repair, but donor scarcity, donor-site morbidity and incomplete functional recovery limit their use. Schwann cells (SCs) drive autograft-mediated regeneration, yet their limited availability and expansion impede SC-based therapies. Here, we generated human pluripotent stem cell-derived SCs, motor neuron-enriched spinal cord…
