🚨 🇷🇺 Russian scientists develop experimental jellyfish-based material for brain injuries.
Researchers at Don State Technical University have developed an experimental collagen scaffold made from root-mouthed jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo) from the Azov Sea.
The porous material contains sodium thiosulfate, designed to gradually release hydrogen sulfide, a compound involved in regulating inflammation and protecting cells.
In laboratory studies, the material showed potential neuroprotective effects following traumatic brain injury, including reducing inflammation, oxidative stress and nerve-cell death.
The researchers say further studies are needed before the technology could be considered for clinical use.$TUT
