Physical and Biological Characterizations of Injectable Thermosensitive Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide)-Collagen I Hydrogels Intended for Meniscus Repair

<div>Thermosensitive behaviours of PNIPAm-collagen I composite hydrogels: (a) PNIPAm-collagen I hydrogel (PNIPAm-0.1Coll group) liquefies below and solidifies above the LCST; (b) PNIPAm-collagen I hydrogel (PNIPAm-0.5Coll group) is readily injectable under room temperature and solidifies in 37°C water (colored for better demonstration).</div>
