Hydrogels for the Application of Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering: A Review of Hydrogels
The treatment of articular cartilage damage is a major task in the medical science of orthopedics. Hydrogels possess the ability to form multifunctional cartilage grafts since they possess polymeric swellability upon immersion in an aqueous phase. Polymeric hydrogels are capable of physiological swe...
