A p H-induced injectable chitosan（CS）-hyaluronic acid（HA） hydrogel for nerve growth factor（NGF） sustained release was developed. Its properties were characterized by gelation time, FT-IR, SEM, in vitro swelling and degradation. Furthermore, the in vitro NGF release profiles and cell biocompatibility were also investigated. The experimental results show that the CS-HA aqueous solution can undergo a rapid gelation 3 minutes after its environmental p H is changed to 7.4. The CSHA hydrogel has interconnected channels with a controllable pore diameter and with a porosity of about 80%. It has a favorable swelling behavior and can be degraded by about 70% within 8 weeks in vitro and is suitable for NGF release. The CS-HA/NGF hydrogel exhibits a lower cytotoxicity and is in favor of the adhesion and proliferation of the BMMSCs cells. It is indicated that the CS-HA/NGF will be a promising candidate for neural tissue engineering.展开更多
