1.Abstract Key pathological factors contributing to intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) include excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), depletion the extracellular matrix (ECM), and an imbalance in M1/M2 macrophage ratio. To address these challenges, we developed a novel bioactive hydrogel (FUH@dECM) by integrating high-concentration fucoidan (FU) with decellularized (dECM). This is designed for situ injection, where it undergoes gelation at site administration,...

Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy has been widely used in clinical practice for spine diseases. But the postoperative disc re-herniation and inflammation are main reason pain recurrence after surgery. The local defect of intervertebral will lead to instability spine, further aggravating process degeneration. In this work, we successfully synthesized thermosensitive injectable celecoxib-loaded chitosan hydrogel investigated its material properties, repair effect, biocompatibility,...
