Chitosan-based hydrogels supplemented with gelatine and Link N enhance extracellular matrix deposition by encapsulated cells in a degenerative intervertebral disc environment
Injectable therapies for intervertebral disc (IVD) repair are gaining much interest. Recently, a chitosan (CH)-based injectable scaffold has been developed that has similar mechanical properties to human nucleus pulposus (NP) and provides a suitable environment for encapsulated NP cell survival and...
