In this study, we have developed a unique and innovative therapeutic platform (named BP-Rut@Gel).

Additionally, toxicity experiments have revealed that our synthesized black phosphorus nanosheet composite hydrogel possesses excellent biocompatibility and significantly reduces the inflammatory response in RA joints. Given these remarkable properties, our BP-Rut@Gel hydrogel held significant promise and demonstrated immense clinical potential for the treatment of RA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18310,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Bio","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 101264"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142358994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
