Abstract: AbstractCollagen-based scaffolds are extensively used in biomaterials and tissue engineering applications. These scaffolds have shown great biocompatibility and versatility, but their relatively low mechanical properties may limit use in orthopaedic load-bearing applications. Moreover, terminal sterilization… read more here.
