Abstract

Bone fracture is usually a medical condition where occurred by high force impact or stress. Recent advances to repair damaged or diseased bone tissues employs three-dimensional (3D) polymer matrices. This review aims to investigate the potential of injectable, dual thermally, and chemically gelable N-isopropyl acrylamide-based hydrogels to deliver scaffold, cells, and growth factors in vitro and in vivo.

Keywords: Bone; Crosslinking; Hydrogel; Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide); Tissue engineering.
