a TEM image at 8 weeks post-implantation (scale bar, 500 nm). b TEM images at 16 weeks pot-implantation (scale bar, 2 μm). Asterisks indicates the axons. Myelinated fiber formation was more abundant in the PRP group than in the non-loaded group. Axon fibers in the PRP group at 16 weeks were denser and better organized with Schwann cells than at 8 weeks. NGC nerve guidance conduit, PRP platelet-rich plasma.
