Damage to cartilage tissues is often difficult to repair owing to chronic inflammation and a
lack of bioactive factors. Therefore, developing bioactive materials, such as hydrogels acting …

Hyaline cartilage serves as a low-friction and wear-resistant articulating surface in load-
bearing, diarthrodial joints. Unfortunately, as the avascular, alymphatic nature of cartilage …

Articular cartilage lesions resulting from injurious impact, recurring loading, joint
malalignment, etc., are very common and encompass the risk of evolving to serious cartilage …

At present, the healing of osteopathy, especially the healing of cartilage, has been proven to
be difficult. Commonly used treatment methods are autogenous bone grafts and allogeneic …

Cartilage injury originating from trauma or osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that can
bring about an increasing social and economic burden in modern society. On account of its …

Articular cartilage is a load-bearing tissue that lines the surface of bones in diarthrodial
joints. Unfortunately, this avascular tissue has a limited capacity for intrinsic repair …

Injectable hydrogels have shown great potential for cartilage tissue engineering as three-
dimensional cell culture scaffolds, owing to their similarity to the extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Hydrogels, consisting of hydrophilic polymers, can be used as films, scaffolds, nanoparticles
