Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar: Injection of Hyaluronic Acid Particle Hydrogels after Ischemic Stroke Dictates Phenotypic Changes in Astrocytes
Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
TATIANA SEGURA, DUKE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Tatiana Segura's laboratory is interested designing therapies to treat stroke related disability, which are administered weeks to months after stroke. Their approach is to inject hydrogel biomaterial scaffolds into the stroke lesion that can remove the cytotoxic environment and allow pro-repair mechanisms to evolve. In this talk, Dr. Segura will focus on our efforts to design hyaluronic acid microporous annealed particle (HA-MAP) hydrogels to treat stroke related tissue loss.
