Nerve tissue engineering via polysaccharide scaffolds. The design of neural scaffolds is very complex due to the importance of providing physical guidance for the axons and the prevention of scar-forming tissue. The use of porous guidance channels that include ECM proteins and that release neurotrophic factors is one of the main pieces of neural scaffolds. Within these channels, nerve conduits where glial cells have been seeded, are then inserted
