Injectable hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were designed as biodegradable matrices for cartilage tissue engineering. Solutions of HA conjugates containing thiol functional groups (HA-SH) and PEG vinylsulfone (PEG-VS) macromers were cross-linked via Michael add
## Abstract Articular cartilage is a highly hydrated tissue with depthβdependent cellular and matrix properties that provide lowβfriction load bearing in joints. However, the structure and function are frequently lost and there is insufficient repair response to regenerate highβquality cartilage. S
