摘要:

周围神经病变的传统修复方法(如自体和异体神经移植)存在局限性,而周围神经再生材料正成为有前景的替代方案。然而现有生物材料大多功能单一,且在调节再生微环境方面不足。文章介绍了人工智能在神经再生生物材料开发中的应用,探讨了材料设计、性能预测及虚拟实验领域的应用。人工智能通过机器学习和深度学习优化材料特性、预测材料性能并促进神经再生。最新研究证实人工智能能设计出生物相容性与力学性能更优的生物材料,并能精准预测神经再生结果。但数据整合、算法复杂性及临床转化保障等挑战依然存在。个性化治疗策略,以及将人工智能与3D生物打印等先进技术融合以开发更高效的神经修复材料,是未来生物材料智能化研究开发的前景。文章重点阐述人工智能在推进周围神经修复及改善患者预后方面的变革潜力

Abstract: Traditional repair methods for peripheral neuropathies, such as autologous and allogeneic nerve grafts, face limitations, while peripheral nerve regeneration materials have emerged as a promising alternative. However, current biomaterials are mostly single-functional and insufficient in modulating the regenerative microenvironment. This review explores the application of artificial intelligence in the development of neural regenerative biomaterials, focusing on material design, performance prediction, and virtual experiments. Artificial intelligence has the potential to optimize material properties through machine learning and deep learning, predict material performance, and enhance nerve regeneration. Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of artificial intelligence to design biomaterials with improved biocompatibility and mechanical properties, as well as to accurately predict outcomes of nerve regeneration. However, several challenges remain, such as data integration, algorithm complexity, and ensuring clinical translation. The promising future of intelligent research and development in biomaterials lies in personalized treatment strategies, coupled with the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and 3D bioprinting, to create more efficient neural repair materials. This review highlights the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in advancing peripheral nerve repair and improving patient outcomes.
