Abstract

An injectable and self-healing collagen–gold hybrid hydrogel is spontaneously formed by electrostatic self-assembly and subsequent biomineralization. It is demonstrated that such collagen-based hydrogels may be used as an injectable material for local delivery of therapeutic agents, showing enhanced...
