    Abstract: A hydrogel material for the treatment of stroke or other brain injury includes a collection of hyaluronic acid-based microgel particles comprising one or more network crosslinker components, wherein the hyaluronic acid-based microgel particles, when exposed to an endogenous annealing agent (e.g., Factor XIIIa), links the hyaluronic acid-based microgel particles together in situ to form a covalently-stabilized scaffold of microgel particles having interstitial spaces therein. The hydrogel material may be injected into a stroke cavity and was shown to promote brain tissue repair by promoting the recruitment of neural stem cells to the injured site and reducing the post-stroke inflammatory response.
