Influence of the gel thickness on <it>in vivo</it> hyaline cartilage regeneration induced by double-network gel implanted at the bottom of a large osteochondral defect: Short-term results

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A double-network (DN) gel, which is composed of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) and poly(N,N’-dimethyl acrylamide), can induce hyaline cartilage regeneration <it>in vivo</it> in a large osteochondral defec...
