Construction of Biocompatible Hydrogel Scaffolds With a Long-Term Drug Release for Facilitating Cartilage Repair

In tissue engineering, hydrogel scaffolds allow various cells to be cultured and grown in vitro and then implanted to repair or replace the damaged areas. Here in this work, kartogenin (KGN), an effectively chondro-inductive non-protein bioactive drug molecule, was incorporated into a composite hydr...
