Co-delivery of Growth Factor-Loaded Microspheres and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in A Gel Matrix for Cartilage Repair

Co-delivery of the embedded growth factor-loaded microspheres and adult stem cells in a hydrogel matrix was studied for its potential as a cell-based therapeutic strategy for cartilage regeneration in partial thickness chondral defects. A photopolymerizable N-methacrylate glycol chitosan (MGC) was...
