The goal of NeuroStimSpinal FETOPEN project is to contribute with a solution for spinal cord injury (SCI).
Considering the biological complexity of SCI, a small incremental discovery in this area may represent an
improvement that will translate into better clinical care and in the quality of life of these patients. Therefore,
a neural tissue engineered scaffold capable of not only combining fibrous and porous topographic cues in
order to mimic the morphology of the native spinal cord, but also potentiating the properties of graphenebased
materials supported in a protein-rich decellularized matrix is being developed to be coupled with a
wireless electrical stimulation device to promote the growth and reconnection of the ruptured nerves. This
communication will cover the challenge and the progresses obtained so far.
