Minimally Invasive Syringe-Injectable Hydrogel with Angiogenic Factors for Ischemic Stroke Treatment (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 6/2025)

Abstract

Ischemic Stroke Treatment

An ischemic stroke results from the blockage of blood vessels, leading to subsequent brain damage. To promote recovery, minimally invasive injectable jammed gelatin-norbornene nanofibrous hydrogels are administered to the affected brain area. These hydrogels release angiogenic factors, which stimulate angiogenesis and improve sensorimotor functions.
