Effective recovery of peripheral nerve injury (PNI) after surgical treatment relies on promoting axon regeneration and minimizing the fibrotic response. Decellularized amniotic membrane (dAM) has unique features as a natural matrix for promoting PNI repair due to its pro-regenerative extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the fragile nature and rapid degradation rate of dAM limit its widespread use in PNI surgery. Here we report an engineered composite membrane for PNI repair by combining dAM with gelatin (Gel) nanofiber membrane to construct a Gel nanofiber-dAM composite membrane (Gel-dAM) through interfacial bonding. The Gel-dAM showed enhanced mechanical properties and reduced degradation rate, while retaining maximal bioactivity and biocompatibility of dAM. These factors led to improved axon regeneration, reduced fibrotic response, and better functional recovery in PNI repair. As a fully natural materials-derived off-the-shelf matrix, Gel-dAM exhibits superior clinical translational potential for the surgical treatment of PNI.
