Meniscus regeneration with injectable Pluronic/PMMA-reinforced fibrin hydrogels in a rabbit segmental meniscectomy model

Injectable hydrogel systems are a facile approach to apply to the damaged meniscus in a minimally invasive way. We herein developed a clinically applicable and injectable semi-interpenetrated network (semi-IPN) hydrogel system based on fibrin (Fb), reinforced with Pluronic F127 (F127) and polymethyl...
