This study develops a hydrogel scaffold with surface chemistry that promotes axon outgrowth and hindlimb recovery in spinal cord injury models.

This study shows that a cell-containing biomaterial scaffold promotes axon regeneration and spinal circuit reorganization, enhancing motor function recovery when combined with epidural electrical stimulation after spinal transection.

This paper introduces a novel method to assess motor behavior in rodents by integrating electrophysiological, biomechanical, and behavioral metrics during therapeutic interventions.
