===== 1. Designing more-injectable hydrogels (MIT News). Framework for creating granular hydrogels that can be injected to repair/replace tissues (general platform, not a cure-all for nerves). news.mit.edu<ref>{{cite web|title=news.mit.edu|url=https://news.mit.edu/2023/hydrogels-blocks-injectable-tissue-repair-0131|publisher=news.mit.edu|access-date=2025-11-11}}</ref> =====

# MIT spinout Tissium (2025). Light-activated biopolymer used by surgeons to join/repair tissues, including nerves, potentially reducing sutures; early clinical use reported in digital nerve repairs (not a “simple injection to regrow nerves”). news.mit.edu<ref>{{cite web|title=news.mit.edu|url=https://news.mit.edu/2025/ushering-new-era-suture-free-tissue-reconstruction-better-healing-0801|publisher=news.mit.edu|access-date=2025-11-11}}</ref>
# Exercise-linked nerve growth (MIT) (2024). Neurons extend more in the presence of muscle-derived “myokines” (cell studies); relevant to regeneration biology, not an injectable gel therapy. news.mit.edu<ref>{{cite web|title=news.mit.edu|url=https://news.mit.edu/2024/when-muscles-work-out-they-help-neurons-grow-1112|publisher=news.mit.edu|access-date=2025-11-11}}</ref>
