A number of stimuli-responsive-based hydrogels has been widely explored in biomedical
applications in the last few decades because of their excellent biodegradability and …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and its copolymers have a long history of safety in humans and an
extensive range of applications. PLA is biocompatible, biodegradable by hydrolysis and …

▪ Abstract Nerve regeneration is a complex biological phenomenon. In the peripheral
nervous system, nerves can regenerate on their own if injuries are small. Larger injuries …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a central nervous system‐(CNS‐) related disorder for which there
is yet no successful treatment. Within the past several years, cell‐based therapies have …

The highly debilitating nature of spinal cord injuries has provided much inspiration for the
design of novel biomaterials that can stimulate cellular regeneration and functional recovery …

Diseases and injuries of the central nervous system (CNS) including those in the brain,
spinal cord and retina are devastating because the CNS has limited intrinsic regenerative …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a catastrophic condition associated with significant neurological
deficit and social and financial burdens. It is currently being managed symptomatically, with …

Although several approaches to stimulate axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury have
succeeded in stimulating robust growth of axons into a lesion site, the growth is generally …

Written by more than 400 subject experts representing diverse academic and applied
domains, this multidisciplinary resource surveys the vanguard of biomaterials and …

As molecular, cellular, and tissue-level treatments for spinal cord injury are discovered, it is
likely that combinations of such treatments will be necessary to elicit functional recovery in …
