Peripheral nerve injury remains a major clinical challenge due to its complex pathophysiology and limited intrinsic regenerative capacity. Effective nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) therefore require not only structural support but also bioinstructive cues capable of actively regulating cellular behavior. Spatial gradients play a fundamental biological role in directing cell migration and axonal elongation by providing long-range guidance cues that cannot be achieved with uniform biochemical or st
