An injectable hydrogel enhances tissue repair after spinal cord injury by promoting extracellular matrix remodeling
The cystic cavity that develops following injuries to brain or spinal cord is a major obstacle. Here the authors show an injection of imidazole poly(organophosphazenes), a hydrogel with thermosensitive sol–gel transition behavior, almost completely eliminates cystic cavities in a clinically relevant...
