Sodium alginate and naloxone loaded macrophage-derived nanovesicles for the treatment of spinal cord injury

Xiaoyao Liu et al.

Summary: The prepared nanovesicles (NAL-SA-MVs) can reduce the concentration of free Ca2+ at the site of spinal cord injury, inhibit inflammation, and protect neurons. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that NAL-SA-MVs could decrease inflammation, reduce neuronal apoptosis, and significantly improve motor function in mice. Therefore, NAL-SA-MVs have tremendous potential for the treatment of spinal cord injury.

ALG-bFGF Hydrogel Inhibiting Autophagy Contributes to Protection of Blood-Spinal Cord Barrier Integrity via PI3K/Akt/FOXO1/KLF4 Pathway After SCI

Renkan Zhang et al.

Summary: Promoting blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) repair at the early stage plays a crucial role in treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). A sustained-release system of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (called ALG-bFGF) has been developed using sodium alginate hydrogel, which shows improved therapeutic effect in promoting SCI repair and motor function recovery. The mechanism involves the inhibition of autophagy activation and maintenance of BSCB integrity through the PI3K/Akt/FOXO1/KLF4 pathway.

A Review on the Adaption of Alginate-Gelatin Hydrogels for 3D Cultures and Bioprinting

Magdalena B. Labowska et al.

Summary: Hydrogels are excellent materials for 3D cell cultures, providing appropriate microenvironments that mimic extracellular matrix functions. Sodium alginate-based hydrogel is commonly used and often combined with gelatin. In 3D printing technology, hydrogels can be used as inks to accurately manufacture scaffolds with complex shapes and geometries.
