Resumen
Cellular behavior in nerve regeneration is affected by the architecture of the polymeric nerve guide conduits (NGCs), therefore, design features of polymeric NGCs are critical for neural tissue engineering. Hence, the purpose of this scoping review is to summarize the adequate quantitative/morphometric parameters of the characteristics of NGC that provide a supportive environment for nerve regeneration, enhancing the understanding of a previous study. 394 studies were found, of which 29 studies were selected. The selected studies revealed four morphometric characteristics for promoting nerve regeneration: wall thickness, fiber size, pore size, and porosity. An NGC with a wall thickness between 250-400 mu m and porosity of 60-80%, with a small pore on the inner surface and a large pore on the outer surface, significantly favored nerve regeneration, resulting in an increase in nutrient permeability, retention of neurotrophic factors, and optimal mechanical properties. On the other hand, the superiority of electrospun fibers is described, however, the size of the fiber is controversial in the literature, obtaining optimal results in the range of 300 nm to 30 mu m. The incorporation of these optimal morphometric characteristics will encourage nerve regeneration and help reduce the number of experimental studies as it will provide the initial morphometric parameters for the preparation of an NGC.
