Advances in immunotherapy for the treatment of spinal cord injury

Abdullah Al Mamun et al.

Summary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a leading cause of morbidity and disability globally. Recent studies have focused on the critical roles of immune responses in regulating neuroinflammation and functional outcomes after SCI, as well as new therapeutic strategies such as cell maturation and apoptosis, MSCs, and multi-factor combination therapy.

Controlled release of baricitinib from a thermos-responsive hydrogel system inhibits inflammation by suppressing JAK2/STAT3 pathway in acute spinal cord injury

Xuan-Qi Zheng et al.

Summary: The injectable PLGA-PEG-PLGA thermos-sensitive hydrogel containing Baricitinib (Bari-P hydrogel) reduced neuronal apoptosis and promoted functional recovery in spinal cord injured rats. By inhibiting the JAK2-STAT3 pathway and controlling the expression of inflammatory cytokines, the Bari-P hydrogel showed therapeutic potential.

Self-assembling peptide hydrogels for the stabilization and sustained release of active Chondroitinase ABC in vitro and in spinal cord injuries

Andrea Raspa et al.

Summary: After spinal cord injuries, harmful events such as activated microglia/macrophages infiltration, astrocyte migration, and increased production of inhibitory CSPGs often occur. Chronic SCI results in a gliotic scar that acts as a barrier to axonal regrowth, but biomaterial scaffolds show promise in promoting nervous cell restoration. Research focusing on self-assembling peptide (SAP) hydrogels loaded with Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) demonstrates potential for enhancing host neural regeneration and behavioral recovery in chronic SCI.

Dual-enzymatically cross-linked gelatin hydrogel enhances neural differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and functional recovery in experimental murine spinal cord injury

Minghao Yao et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the beneficial effects of using a dual-enzymatically cross-linked gelatin hydrogel combined with MSCs for promoting neural repair post-SCI. In both in vitro experiments and a clinically-relevant mouse model, the combination of hydrogel and MSCs led to decreased inflammation, promoted neurogenesis, and improved motor function recovery. The findings suggest that implantation of the designed hydrogel is a promising therapeutic strategy for treating SCI.
