Improving Joint Function Using Photochemical Hydrogels for Articular Surface Repair

Abstract

The goal of this project was to develop a novel means to regenerate the articular cartilage and restore normal function of the joint. A strategy can generate durable hyaline articular cartilage, which will be predominantly type II collagen, and is capable of integrating with the surrounding cartilage matrix (without fissures) could improve the long-term outcome of joint surface repair.
