Biodegradable glass fiber reinforced PVA hydrogel for cartilage repair: mechanical properties, ions release behavior and cell recruitment

Articular cartilage with limited ability of regeneration remains a grand challenge in the field of tissue engineering. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel with low friction coefficient have been regarded as prior candidate for cartilage substitute, whereas lack of structure performance and bioactivit...
