March 2014 in “ISRN Biomaterials” In this study, a keratin hydrogel improved survival rates and functional recovery in rats with spinal cord injuries, suggesting potential for SCI treatment that merits further investigation.
July 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, researchers identified that certain inflammatory cytokines, including osteoprotegerin and leukemia inhibitory factor, are inversely associated with hypertrophic scar risk, whereas others like CDCP1, GDNF, and PD-L1 show a positive association, suggesting potential pathways for intervention in scar formation.
In this study, a pH-responsive microneedle patch was developed, showing potential in rat models for treating spinal cord injuries by reducing inflammation, promoting nerve regeneration, and supporting neurogenesis, which contributed to improved motor and neurological recovery.
August 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that implanting HAP stem cells in a mouse model accelerated wound closure and reduced scar formation, suggesting potential for scar-free wound healing.
