文摘
- •
In-situ forming gels incorporating a growth factor are formulated and characterized.
- •
The gel retains the growth factor and is colonized by chondrocytes.
- •
Mechanical properties and porosity of gels are controlled by polymer concentration.
- •
Incubation at 37 °C increases the gel strength and opens up the porous structure.
