Abstract
The development of novel therapeutic approaches to facilitate endometrial repair and regeneration while preventing adhesion recurrence is a crucial research objective aimed at enhancing clinical outcomes for women with intrauterine adhesions (IUA). In this study, we introduced an injectable Alg-GMA/PTSB zwitterionic hydrogel, characterized by excellent biocompatibility, anti-protein adsorption properties, and biodegradability. In a rat model, the hydrogel significantly promoted the regeneration and angiogenesis of damaged endometrial tissue, leading to improved recovery of epithelial cells, glands, proliferation, and vascularization. Furthermore, it exhibited the ability to suppress cellular apoptosis and collagen deposition, thereby mitigating fibrosis. Additionally, the hydrogel restored the expression of estrogen/progesterone receptors and endometrial receptivity markers, contributing to enhanced embryo implantation and fertility. These findings underscore the potential of the hydrogel as a promising therapeutic strategy for addressing endometrial injury, reducing fibrosis, restoring fertility, and ultimately improving outcomes for women with IUA.
