Abstract

Cartilage defects are one of the most common symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative disease that affects millions of people world-wide and places a significant socio-economic burden on society. Hydrogels, which are a class of biomaterials that are elastic, and display smooth surfaces while exhibiting high water content, are promising candidates for cartilage regeneration. In recent years, various kinds of hydrogels have been developed and applied for the repair of cartilage defects in vitro or in vivo, some of which are hopeful to enter clinical trials. In this review, recent research findings and developments of hydrogels for cartilage defects repair are summarized. We discuss the principle of cartilage regeneration, and outline the requirements that have to be fulfilled for the deployment of hydrogels for medical applications. We also highlight the development of advanced hydrogels with tailored properties for different kinds of cartilage defects to meet the requirements of cartilage tissue engineering and precision medicine.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
