A closed chondromimetic environment within magnetic-responsive liquified capsules encapsulating stem cells and collagen II/TGF-β3 microparticles

TGF-β3 is enzymatically immobilized by transglutaminase-2 action to poly(l-lactic acid) microparticles coated with collagen II. Microparticles are then encapsulated with stem cells inside liquified spherical compartments enfolded with a permselective shell through layer-by-layer adsorption. Magnetic...
