Applications and Mechanisms of Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogels in Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global neurotrauma with high morbidity and mortality that seriously threatens the life quality of patients and causes heavy burdens to families, healthcare institutions, and society. Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress can further aggravate neuronal cell death, h...

description | Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global neurotrauma with high morbidity and mortality that seriously threatens the life quality of patients and causes heavy burdens to families, healthcare institutions, and society. Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress can further aggravate neuronal cell death, hinder functional recovery, and lead to secondary brain injury. In addition, the blood–brain barrier prevents drugs from entering the brain tissue, which is not conducive to the recovery of TBI. Due to their high water content, biodegradability, and similarity to the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), hydrogels are widely used for the delivery and release of various therapeutic agents (drugs, natural extracts, and cells, etc.) that exhibit beneficial therapeutic efficacy in tissue repair, such as TBI. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels can undergo reversible or irreversible changes in properties, structures, and functions in response to internal/external stimuli or physiological/pathological environmental stimuli, and further improve the therapeutic effects on diseases. In this paper, we reviewed the common types of stimuli-responsive hydrogels and their applications in TBI, and further analyzed the therapeutic effects of hydrogels in TBI, such as pro-neurogenesis, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, anti-oxidation, and pro-angiogenesis. Our study may provide strategies for the treatment of TBI by using stimuli-responsive hydrogels. |
