An Injectable and Photocrosslinkable Hydrogel Based on Recombinant Human Collagen Type XVII Promotes Osteochondral Regeneration by Activating the TGF β/SMAD Signaling Pathway
The management of articular cartilage defects remains a major clinical challenge owing to the tissue’s limited intrinsic regenerative capacity. Conventional collagen-based hydrogels often fail to achieve functional repair due to a mismatch between their biological functions and mechanical properties. Here, for the firs...
