PLATELET-RICH PLASMA LOADED NERVE GUIDANCE CONDUIT AS IMPLANTABLE BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS FOR RECURRENT LARYNGEAL NERVE REGENERATION

Platelet-rich plasma loaded nerve guidance conduit as implantable biocompatible materials for recurrent laryngeal nerve regeneration

Abstract Vocal cord paralysis caused by recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury during thyroidectomy results in hoarseness, aspiration, and dyspnea.We evaluated the usefulness of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) constructed from an asymmetric polycaprolactone (PCL)/Pluronic F127 porous membrane and filled with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for functional

Persistence of genetically engineered canola populations in the U.S. and the adventitious presence of transgenes in the environment.

Feralization of genetically engineered (GE) crops increases the risk that transgenes will become integrated into natural and naturalizing plant populations.A key assumption of the management of GE crops is that populations of escaped plants are short-lived and therefore the risks they pose are limited.However, few populations of escaped crop plants
