## Abstract This study evaluated the potential of using poly(NiPAAm‐__co__‐AAc) as an injectable drug delivery carrier and a cell therapeutic agent in the form of a supporting matrix for the chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit chondrocytes. In particular, rabbit chondrocytes were embedded in hyd
