Angiogenesis after stroke is correlated with enhanced tissue repair and functional outcomes. The existing body of research in biomaterials for focuses on hydrogels the delivery stem cells, growth factors, or small molecules drugs. Despite ability to enhance all these methods, no material has significantly regrown vasculature within translatable timeline days weeks stroke. Here, two novel biomaterial formulations granular are developed regeneration stroke: highly porous microgels (i.e., Cryo...
