Macromolecule-based hydrogels for meniscus regeneration: Natural, synthetic and hybrid systems.

Meniscal injuries have limited intrinsic healing capacity because of the tissue's regional vascular gradient, anisotropic load-bearing architecture, and long-term exposure to compressive, shear and sliding forces. Hydrogel engineering offers an important strategy for meniscal regeneration by providing tissue-like hydra...
