Hydrogel-forming viscous liquid in response to ROS restores the gut mucosal barrier of colitis mice via regulating oxidative redox homeostasis

The disrupted oxidative redox homeostasis plays a critical role in the progress of ulcerative colitis (UC). Herein, hydrogel-forming viscous liquid (HSD) composed of cysteamine-grafted hyaluronic acid (HS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) has been designed for UC. When the viscous HSD liquid was infused into colitis colon, SOD would convert the pathological superoxide (O
