Traumatic brain injury (TBI) produces excess iron, and increased iron accumulation in the brain leads to lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROSs), which can exacerbate secondary damage and lead to disability and death. Therefore, inhibition of iron overload and oxidative stress has a significant role in the treatment of TBI. Functionalized hydrogels with iron overload inhibiting ability and of oxidative stress inhibiting ability will greatly contribute to the repair of TBI.

Increasing evidence suggests that heme accumulation and neuronal ferroptosis play an important role in secondary injury after ICH. Neural stem cells (NSCs), as seed cells of the central nervous system, have received much attention due to their abundant paracrine product components and low immunogenicity.
