Natural assembly of platelet lysate-loaded nanocarriers into enriched 3D hydrogels for cartilage regeneration

The role of Platelet Lysates (PLs) as a source of growth factors (GFs) and as main element of threedimensional (3D) hydrogels has been previously described. However, the resulting hydrogels usually suffer from high degree of contraction, limiting their usefulness. This work describes the development...
