IMPACT STATEMENT Axonal bridging across a lesion in the injured spinal cord requires a growth substrate and guidance cues. Using alginate hydrogels with capillary channels we show that poly-l-ornithine and laminin can be stably bound and improve cell adhesion and neurite growth in vitro, and axon growth in vivo by enhancing host cell infiltration in the injured spinal cord. Filling of coated hydrogels with postnatal astrocytes further increases short-distance axon growth and results in a continuous astroglial substrate across the host/graft interface. Thus, positively charged bioactive molecules can be stably bound to anisotropic capillary alginate hydrogels and early astrocytes further promote tissue integration.
