Chitin nanocrystal-reinforced chitin/collagen composite hydrogels for annulus fibrosus repair after discectomy

Discectomy is a widely utilized approach for alleviating disc herniation; however, effective repair of postoperative annulus fibrosus (AF) defects remains a significant challenge. This study introduces a hydrogel patch with enhanced mechanical properties for AF repair fabricated using chitin (Ch), c...
