A tissue-mimetic nano-fibrillar hybrid injectable hydrogel for potential soft tissue engineering applications
Abstract While collagen type I (Col-I) is commonly used as a structural component of biomaterials, collagen type III (Col-III), another fibril forming collagen ubiquitous in many soft tissues, has not previously been used. In the present study, the novel concept of an injectable hydrogel with semi-i...
