Abstract

Proteins in the collagen family represent some of the most versatile natural biomaterials used in neural tissue engineering. Their widespread use is mainly prompted by their favorable physicochemical properties, rich biological activity, and abundant expression in the native extracellular matrix. This chapter presents an overview of the various applications of collagen-based biomaterials developed for neural tissue engineering.
