[Production and application of bio-derived scaffold in peripheral nerve].
OBJECTIVE
To comment on the recent advances of production and application of the bio-derived scaffold in the tissue engineered peripheral nerve.


METHODS
The recent articles were systematically analyzed, and then the production methods of the bio-derived scaffold and its application to the tissue engineered peripheral nerve were evaluated and prospected.


RESULTS
Biological tissues were processed by some methods to produce the bio-derived materials. These materials could maintain the structure and components of the tissues. Moreover; the immunogenicity of these materials was reduced.


CONCLUSIONS
Application of the bio-derived materials is a trend in the fabricating scaffold of the tissue engineered peripheral nerve.
