The present disclosure provides collagen bioink compositions and chemically uncrosslinked and crosslinked collagen structures including collagen microparticles and scaffolds. Also provided are methods of their fabrication and use. Applications for using these collagen structures include treatments of damaged tissue, particularly those caused by osteoarthritis.

Liquid collagen bioinks and methods to make and use collagen structures

The present invention provides a series of injectable bionanocomposites that may be delivered via injection to various tissue repair sites including myocardial infarction, intervertebral disc reconstruction, reconstruction of skeletal muscle, and musculoskeletal applications, urinary incontinence, adipose tissue engineering, and orthopedic applications such as osteoporosis, and meniscus and articular cartilage repair.

Injectable nanomaterial-extracellular matrix constructs

Disclosed are compositions comprising collagen covalently bound to particles, wherein covalent bonds are formed between reactive groups of the collagen and reactive groups of the particles, and wherein the particles have an average particle diameter ranging from 20 to 1000 nanometers. Also disclosed are various methods that utilize the compositions.
