Evaluation of octapeptide hydrogels for cartilage tissue engineering
This thesis investigates the suitability of an octapeptide hydrogel scaffold for use in the tissue engineering of cartilage. The work has focused on two main areas; the biocompatibility of the hydrogel scaffold and the ability of the scaffold to sustain chondrocyte morphology and function. Firstly,...
