Research progress of self-assembling peptide hydrogels in repairing cartilage defects
Frontiers in Materials, 2022 Due to the lack of blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels, the capacity of articular cartilage to heal is extremely limited. Once damaged, it is urgent for articular cartilage to repair the injury.

Ionic Control of Microstructure and Lubrication in Charged, Physically Cross‐Linked Hydrogels
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, charged, physically cross‐linked poly(methacrylamide‐co‐methacrylic acid) hydrogels stabilized by a short‐range attractive, long‐range repulsive potential is investigated. This work uncovers how salt addition alters not only swelling, but also the microstructure and dynamics, near‐surface stiffness and charge, and ultimately, its lubricity. Salts

Transient anabolic effects accompany epidermal growth factor receptor signal activation in articular cartilage in vivo [PDF]
, 2013 INTRODUCTION: Signals from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have typically been considered to provide catabolic activities in articular cartilage, and accordingly have been suggested to have a causal role in osteoarthritis progression. The aim

LipoGels: Robust Self‐Lubricating Physically Cross‐Linked Alginate Hydrogels Embedded with Liposomes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Physically cross‐linked alginate hydrogels embedded with 1,2‐dipalmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine liposomes (LipoGels) are prepared under optimized conditions to avoid shrinkage and achieve structural uniformity. LipoGels demonstrate robust mechanical strength (Young's modulus ≈1 MPa), excellent lubrication (friction coefficient ≈0.021), and ...
