Gel:HA:PEDOT-NPs 1 × scaffold induced a more controlled inflammatory response and reactive area around the lesion site when compared to the lesion only control. a Representative images of spinal cord tissue section Nissl labelling in rats implanted with PEDOT 1 × gel:HA:PEDOT-NPs or injured as control (A), scale bar -1 mm. Dashed lines indicate the lesion/scaffold area. (B) Higher magnification of the indicated areas in (A), scale bar -50 µm. b Quantification of the distance of the Nissl reactive area from the lesion site. * p < 0.05, (n ≥ 3, mean ± SD) is indicated where statistical difference is observed
