| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We previously reported the artificial material which induces the extension of axonal sprout in the injured spinal as well as peripheral nerves. In the present study, the artificial material was first covalently bond with heparin, and then combined with heparin-affinity growth factor, basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF). In this setting, the material could gradually release bFGF into the surround region. As the results, in the injured spinal cord, axonal sprouts effectively extended beyond astrocytic wall. In case of injured peripheral sciatic nerve, effective extension of myelinated axon was similarly observed toward peroneal and tibial nerves. Our study indicates that combining of the artificial material with bFGF is the effective way to regenerate injured spinal as well as peripheral nerves.
