TABLE 2.

Summary of advantages and disadvantages of the proposed strategies.

Strategy Advantages Disadvantages
Synthetic biomaterial (PL), (PG), (PCL), (PGLA) Degrading rate control
Homogeneous production
Reducing variability in immune response
Limited ability to induce endogenous repair responses
Synthetic biomaterial combined with natural compounds Resistance to protein degradation
Optimizing repair features
Hydrophobicity superficial
Collagen biomaterial Contributing to growth, differentiation, and cell migration Immunogeneity
Low mechanical resistance
Alginate biomaterial Biodegradable
Hypoallergenic
Combined with synthetic compounds for greater consistency
Hyaluronic acid biomaterial Anti-inflammatory properties
Support for cell survival
biocompatibility
Non-stick properties
Easily degradable
Possible formation of fibrosis
Biomaterial combined with exogenous cells Less infiltration of reactive cells into the biomaterial
Increase in neural precursors, modulates neuroinflammation, promotes neuroprotection
Possible neoplastic formation
Cells do not integrate into the tissue
Biomaterial combined with bioactive molecules Promoting neuroreparation processes
Improves invasion and colonization of host tissue
Its use is restricted to 2–3 weeks
