Abstract
Injectable may enhance drug delivery for cartilage repair in .
- Osteoarthritis involves cartilage deterioration and inflammation in the bone.
- Injectable hydrogels are being explored for their ability to deliver drugs directly to the cartilage.
- Different types of hydrogels, including physically and chemically crosslinked versions, are available for this purpose.
- These hydrogels can encapsulate therapeutic agents and release them in a controlled way.
- Incorporating growth factors, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cells into hydrogels could improve treatment outcomes.
