Dual-therapeutic niraparib-loaded chitosan nanoparticle-alginate hydrogel with adipose-derived stromal cells promotes functional and histological recovery after spinal cord injury.

BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers oxidative stress, inflammation, and progressive neurodegeneration. METHODS Here, we developed a dual-therapy composite hydrogel that integrates niraparib-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (NICNPs) and adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) into a calcium alginate scaffold for su...

GDNF-Enriched Small Extracellular Vesicle-Loaded ROS-Scavenging Hydrogel Promotes Neural Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe traumatic disorder of the central nervous system that results in substantial motor and sensory dysfunction. The hostile post-injury microenvironment, marked by excessive oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and progressive neuronal degeneration, greatly limits neural repair. In...

A pH-responsive and self-healing CEC/PEG-(CHO)2 hydrogel for controlled neuropeptide S delivery and endogenous neural repair after spinal cord injury

A pH-responsive CEC/PEG-(CHO)2 hydrogel scaffold was engineered for local delivery of neuropeptide S (NPS) to modulate the hostile microenvironment after spinal cord injury (SCI). The scaffold exhibited accelerated degradation under acidic conditions mimicking the injured site, enabling controlled release of NPS. Its p...

ROS-responsive hydrogel delivering liposomal indole-3-propionic acid promotes spinal cord injury repair by enhancing CX3CL1-CX3CR1 mediated neuron-microglia communication

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological disorder characterized by excessive neuroinflammation and limited regenerative capacity. Here, we developed a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hydrogel for localized delivery of liposomal indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a gut microbiota-derived metabolite wi...

A bioengineered ECM-mimetic dermal collagen-derived hydrogel co-delivering SDF-1α and bFGF promotes cellular recruitment, angiogenesis, and regenerative healing of type 2 diabetic wounds.

Diabetic wounds remain a complex clinical challenge due to impaired angiogenesis, prolonged inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and defective extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Biomaterial-based approaches that can simultaneously regulate these pathological events are highly desirable for promoting functional...
