Fabrication and characterization of microstructure-controllable COL-HA-PVA hydrogels for cartilage repair

Abstract Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel has gained interest in cartilage repair because of its highly swollen, porosity, and viscoelastic properties. However, PVA has some deficiencies, such as its poor biocompatibility and microstructure. This research aimed to design novel hydroxyapatite (HA)-co...
