CGRP‐Loaded ROS‐Responsive Hydrogel Restores Neuro‐Angiogenic Signaling to Promote Bone Regeneration in Diabetes‐Associated Periodontitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that diabetes damages sensory nerve fibers, especially CGRP‐positive ones, in the periodontium and disrupts autophagy in trigeminal ganglion neurons, affecting bone homeostasis by inhibiting type H vessel formation. To address this, CGRP@PVA/tsPBA hydrogels are developed to release CGRP in response to ROS, which binds to endothelial ...
