Core Tip	Previous in vitro studies showed that spermidine may have different, or even opposite, effects on cell survival, leading to either proliferation or apoptosis depending on a variety of factors. We showed that the inclusion of spermidine in supramolecular complexes with various polymers optimized its use for regenerative purposes. Spermidine-supramolecular complexes stimulated cell proliferation but did not cause significant alterations to vaginal tissue integrity. These results suggest that growth pathways in senescent or damaged tissues may be activated by the controlled release of spermidine from spermidine-supramolecular complexes to provide a faster recovery.
