Avidin as a model for charge driven transport into cartilage and drug delivery for treating early stage post-traumatic osteoarthritis
Local drug delivery into cartilage remains a challenge due to its dense extracellular matrix of negatively charged proteoglycans enmeshed within a collagen fibril network. The high negative fixed charge density of cartilage offers the unique opportunity to utilize electrostatic interactions to augme...
