A bioresorbable material incorporating magnesium (Mg) wires into NGCs is disclosed. The bioresorbable material includes magnesium, and a biodegradable polymer, for example, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). The bioresorbable material can include magnesium wires incorporated into a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffold to provide both directional and biological cues in a fully bioresorbable material. A method of producing a bioresorbable material is also disclosed, which includes placing a plurality of magnesium (Mg) wires on a layer of a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) solution, placing a second layer of the poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) solution on the plurality of magnesium (Mg) wires, and drying the plurality of magnesium (Mg) wires between the two layers of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) solution.
