Abstract
This invention relates to a method of treating a subject suffering from a condition characterized by damaged or degenerated soft tissue (such as, for example, intervertebral discs) by injecting swellable microgel particles to a location within the subject containing the damaged or degenerated soft tissue, after which said microgel particles covalently bind together in vivo to form a doubly cross-linked gel.
