Biomimetic Scaffolds for Spinal Cord Applications Exhibit Stiffness-Dependent Immunomodulatory and Neurotrophic Characteristics

Ian Woods et al.

Summary: The study found that Coll-IV/Fn mixture in scaffolds can promote axonal extension of neurons and induce morphological features of astrocytes. By using materials of different stiffness in the scaffold, astrocyte behavior can be regulated, and the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines can be stimulated.

NSC-derived extracellular matrix-modified GelMA hydrogel fibrous scaffolds for spinal cord injury repair

Zheng Chen et al.

Summary: Cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) has been used in GelMA/ECM hydrogel fibrous scaffolds to enhance neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and promote neuron regeneration in spinal cord injury (SCI). The scaffolds not only possess good mechanical properties, but also reduce inflammation and glial scarring, leading to significant functional recovery in SCI.

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.

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.
