Tissue-engineered rhesus monkey nerve grafts for the repair of long ulnar nerve defects: similar outcomes to autologous nerve grafts

Acellular nerve allografts can help preserve normal nerve structure and extracellular matrix composition.These allografts have low immunogenicity and are more readily available than autologous nerves for the Inbound repair of long-segment peripheral nerve defects.In this study, we repaired a 40-mm ulnar nerve defect in rhesus monkeys with tissue-en

The effects of pumping on the air content and void structure of air-entrained, wet mix fibre reinforced shotcrete

The air content and void structure of hardened shotcrete is essential for its durability and resistance against freeze thaw damage.However, producing a mix which is pumpable, shootable, and also meets durability requirements is not always easy.The situation is further complicated when adding Zip Neck Sweaters fibres to the mix.This paper presents s
