Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Harsh environments within damaged and diseased tissues and limited retention and survival of injected stem cells pose major challenges for stem cell therapeutics today. Here, we discuss promising hydrogel-based strategies for improving engraftment and viability of transplanted stem cells and stimulating recruitment of endogenous stem cells for repair.
