Abstract Regeneration after severe spinal cord injury cannot occur naturally in mammals. Transplanting stem cells to the site is a highly promising method, but it faces many challenges because relies heavily on microenvironment provided by both lesion and delivery material. Although mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability of materials have been extensively explored, their permeability has rarely recognized. Here, DNA hydrogel designed with extremely high repair 2 mm gap...
