Summary: Scientists and engineers have made a breakthrough in cell transplantation using a gel-like biomaterial that keeps cells alive and helps them integrate better into tissue. In two early lab trials, this has already shown to partially reverse blindness and help the brain recover from stroke. '

*A Hyaluronan-Based Injectable Hydrogel Improves the Survival and Integration of Stem Cell Progeny following Transplantation: Stem Cell
Reports*
' ... Highlights
•An injectable biomaterial improves rod survival/integration into adult retina
•The same material improves neural stem cell distribution/survival into adult brain
•Functional repair is demonstrated after cell transplantation in both retina and brain •Hyaluronan-CD44 interaction is implicated in the pro-survival effect on stem cell progeny
