Composite Hydrogel Model of Cartilage Predicts Its Load-Bearing Ability
Articular cartilage is a load-bearing tissue found in animal and human joints. It is a composite gel-like material in which a fibrous collagen network encapsulates large proteoglycan assemblies that imbibe fluid and “inflate” the network. Here we describe a composite hydrogel consisting of a cross-l...
