The repair of articular cartilage defects remains a significant challenge in orthopedic
medicine. Hydrogels, three-dimensional polymer networks swollen in water, offer a unique …

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 …

In the design of chitosan-based drug delivery systems and implantable scaffolds, the
biodegradation rate of the chitosan matrix represents a promising strategy for drug delivery …

Swelling behavior of anionic acrylic acid polyelectrolyte hydrogel synthesized by γ-radiation
crosslinking of polyacrylic acid in aqueous solution was investigated. Cross-linked …

Objective. To develop a biomechanical model for cartilage which is capable of capturing
experimentally observed nonlinear behaviours of cartilage and to investigate effects of …

The objective of this study was to experimentally verify the well-accepted but untested
hypothesis that cartilage interstitial fluid pressurizes variously under the action of an applied …

Metronidazole (MD) is known as a periodontitis medicine and has been widely used in
antibiotics for resistance to anaerobic bacteria, periodontal disease, and other threats. To …

Articular cartilage has limited potential for repair. Current clinical treatments for articular
cartilage damage often result in fibrocartilage and are associated with joint pain and …

A novel porous chitosan/gelatin scaffold for tissue engineering was prepared via
polyelectrolyte complex formation, freeze drying and post‐crosslinking with glutaraldehyde …

The role of mechanical forces is crucial for stem cell adhesion, viability, proliferation, self‐
renewal, and differentiation. The relationship between the natural extracellular matrix …
