Biomimetic Hydrogels Loaded with Nanofibers Mediate Sustained Release of pDNA and Promote In Situ Bone Regeneration

Polymer hydrogels are generally insufficient biomechanics, strong resistance to cell adhesion, and weak bioactivity which limits their application in bone tissue engineering considerably. In order to develop a bone tissue engineering material with both good mechanical properties, osteogenic and angiogenic activity. Nanofibers carrying DNA plasmid (pNF) are introduced to gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and thiolated chitosan (TCS) system for...
