Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the leading causes of global disability. However, there are currently no effective clinical treatments for SCI. Repair of SCI is essential but poses great challenges. As a comprehensive treatment program combining biological scaffolds, seed cells and drugs or biological factors, tissue engineering has gradually replaced the single transplantation approach to become a focus of research that brings new opportunities for the clinical treatment of SCI.

A IKVAV-functionalized hydrogel is developed. It not only enhances neural stem cell (NSC) attachment, growth, and differentiation, but also maintains the proliferation ability of the NSC spheroids in the hydrogel for spinal cord injury repair.
