Injectable Neural Hydrogel as in vivo Therapeutic Delivery Vehicle
Regenerative Engineering and Translational MedicineNora Hlavac, et. al
2023-01-26
This study demonstrated the in vivo delivery of a decellularized, injectable peripheral nerve (iPN) hydrogel and explored options for using iPN in combination with regenerative biomolecular therapies like stem cell secretome. Rat-derived iPN hydrogel solutions were combined with a dextran-conjugated dye before subcutaneous injection into adult Sprague–Dawley rats. After injection, an in vivo imaging system (IVIS) was used to visualize hydrogels and quantify dextran-dye release over time.
Decellularized peripheral nerve as an injectable delivery vehicle for neural applications

Damage to the nervous system can result in loss of sensory and motor function, paralysis, or even death. To facilitate neural regeneration and functional recovery, researchers have employed biomaterials strategies to address both peripheral and central nervous system injuries.

Peripheral nerve injuries can be debilitating to motor and sensory function, with severe cases often resulting in complete limb amputation. Over the past two decades, prosthetic limb technology has rapidly advanced to provide users with crude motor control of up to 20° of freedom; however, the nerve-interfacing technology required to provide high movement selectivity has not progressed at the same rate.
