Abstract
Harsh environments within damaged and diseased tissues and limited retention and survival of injected stem cells pose major challenges for stem cell therapeutics today. Here, we discuss promising hydrogel-based strategies for improving engraftment and viability of transplanted stem cells and stimulating recruitment of endogenous stem cells for repair.
