The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of
implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients …

The fast growth of 3D printing technology gives designers many ways to make structures that
are hard to see. 3D printing lets you customize complex structures in any way you want and …

The complex, gradient physiological structure of articular cartilage is a severe hindrance of
its self‐repair, leaving the clinical treatment of cartilage defects a demanding issue to be …

Articular cartilage is critical for knee joint motion as a connective tissue to disperse loads
and resist high-stress loadings. However, due to the lack of vascular, neural, and lymphatic …

Bone and cartilage defects may occur for various reasons such as degenerative, surgical,
and traumatic diseases. Autograft and allograft transplantations have the inherent problems …

Most current hydrogels have weak mechanical properties and unordered structures, which
limits their applications. However, soft tissues with highly ordered hierarchical …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel is considered the most promising candidate for artificial
cartilage because of its good lubricity and low permeability. However, the efficacy of single …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease involving entire joint. It is often initiated from
the low-grade inflammation in synovial tissue and then affects articular cartilage and …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hydrogels have shown potential applications in bionic
articular cartilage due to their tissue‐like viscoelasticity, good biocompatibility and low …

Enzymatic mineralization has become an effective approach to enhancing the stiffness of
hydrogels for bone tissue engineering, but generally with limited toughness. On the other …
