Long-Term Regeneration and Functional Recovery of a 15 mm Critical Nerve Gap Bridged by <i>Tremella fuciformis</i> Polysaccharide-Immobilized Polylactide Conduits

<table>MR images for the regenerated nerve after transection (15 mm gap). (A) The sagittal views at (a), (b) 4 months, (c), (d) 6 months, and (e), (f) 8 months, for rats receiving PLA (a), (c), (e) or PLA/TF (b), (d), (f) conduits. (B) The axial views at (a), (b) 2 months, (c), (d) 4 months, (e), (f) 6 months, and (g), (h) 8 months, for rats receiving PLA (a), (c), (e), (g) or PLA/TF (b), (d), (f), (g) conduits. The regenerated nerve was indicated by long white arrows in the images. The axial views (B) were clearer than the sagittal views (A) in identifying the newly regenerated nerve.</table>
