Restoration of Motor and Bladder Functions after Spinal Cord Injury via Sustained Wogonin Release from Carbon Nanotube Incorporated Hydrogels
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in structural and neural cell damage, leading to motor and bladder dysfunction. The limited regenerative capabilities and SCI-mediated inflammation exacerbate secondary damage and impede neurological recovery. To enhance neural regeneration and modulate inflammatory responses, a dual-functional scaffold with electrical properties and sustained release of wogonin (Wog), an ingredient in Chinese herbal medicines, was developed. With incorporation of Wog-loaded carbon nanotubes into photo-cross-linkable gelatin hydrogel, improvements in electrical conductivity and mechanical properties and sustained Wog release behavior of the functional hydrogel enhanced migration and neurogenic differentiation of neural stem cells and vascularization and suppressed pro-inflammatory responses and fibrosis in damaged spinal cord and detrusor and sphincter muscles of bladder, consequently accelerating motor and neurogenic lower urinary tract function recovery. Our work presents a novel strategy for addressing motor and bladder dysfunction after SCI, focusing on promoting neural regeneration and modulating the inflammatory microenvironment.
期刊介绍:
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors.
