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 antitumor efficacy. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer reviewed and may be re-organized for online delivery, but are not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues arising from supporting information (other than missing files) should be addressed to the authors. Please note: The publisher is not responsible for…
