This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a dual-factor hydrogel for meniscus repair.
Developed an injectable hydrogel combining silk fibroin and tannic acid.
Tested the hydrogel's functional properties in a preclinical model.
The hydrogel demonstrated significant improvements in meniscus repair.
Showed potential protective effects against osteoarthritis-related degeneration.
Abstract
efficacy, this cell-free platform offers a clinically translatable strategy for functional meniscus repair, with potential protective effects against osteoarthritis-related degeneration.
