Abstract:With wide clinical demands, therapies for traumatic brain
injury
(TBI) are a major problem in surgical procedures and after major trauma.
Due to the difficulty in regeneration of neurons or axons after injury,
as well as the inhibition of blood vessel growth by the formation
of neural scars, existing treatment measures have limited effectiveness
in repairing brain tissue. Herein, the biomultifunctional hydrogels
are developed for TBI treatment based on the Schiff base reaction
of calcium ion (Ca2+)-cross-linke… Show more
