Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural by-products of oxygen metabolism. As signaling molecules, ROS can regulate various physiological processes in the body. However excessive ROS may be a major cause of inflammatory diseases. In the field of neurological diseases, ROS cause neuronal apoptosis and neurodegeneration, which severely impede neuroregeneration. Currently, ROS-scavenging biomaterials are considered as a promising therapeutic strategy for neurological injuries due to their ability to scavenge excessive ROS at defects and modulate the oxidative stress microenvironment. This review provides an overview of the generation and sources of ROS, briefly describes the dangers of generating excessive ROS in nervous system diseases, and highlights the importance of scavenging excessive ROS for neuroregeneration. We have classified ROS-scavenging biomaterials into three categories based on the different mechanisms of ROS clearance. The applications of ROS-responsive biomaterials for neurological diseases, such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, and peripheral nerve injury, are also discussed. Our review contributes to the development of ROS-scavenging biomaterials in the field of neural regeneration.
