Development of 'smart' biomaterials for tissue repair

Cartilage has only a limited capacity for self-regeneration following injury, leading to experimental and clinical attempts to induce healing of lesions. The use of biodegradable biomaterials for the delivery of bioactive agents or cells is key to facilitating tissue repair. This study focused on th...
