“…On injection, the fluid flows to fill extracellular spaces in the brain, filling irregular voids (where required) and interfacing fully with surrounding tissue, then promptly selfassembling within minutes into a stiffer gel that can be tailored to match the mechnical properties of the brain, and support surrounding host, or newly implanted cells. Such materials [including hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen gels] have been shown to support both fetal and human PSC-derived progenitors in vitro and cell engraftment in PD and stroke models (Jin et al, 2010;Yu et al, 2010;Zhong et al, 2010;Adil et al, 2017;Moriarty et al, 2017Moriarty et al, , 2018a; see also reviews -Jendelova et al, 2016; Moriarty and Dowd, 2018c;Moriarty et al, 2018b).…”
