About
Spinal cord injury affects over a million people globally, with India having the highest incidence at 15000 annually. Current treatments are insufficient to improve neurological impairments and long-term survival rates. Biomaterial and stem cell therapies have been developed, but functional recovery is low due to limited microenvironment. A novel electro-conductive and immuno-modulatory graphene-incorporated collagen hydrogel is proposed to promote faster axonal regeneration and functional recovery, potentially shortening patients' stay on bed and reducing economic and social burden.
