Breakthrough biomaterial heals tissue from the inside out
SMRTR summary
A new injectable biomaterial developed at UC San Diego can travel through the bloodstream to find and heal damaged tissue from the inside out. Tested in rodents and pigs after heart attacks, it reduced inflammation, improved heart function, and showed promise for brain injury and other conditions. Unlike earlier treatments requiring direct injections into heart muscle, this can be delivered through an IV or existing cardiac procedures, making it faster and far less invasive.
