Summary: Recent breakthroughs in cell transplantation therapy have shown the potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for regenerating growth plate cartilage injuries. However, the high apoptosis rate and uncertain differentiation direction of cells often result in poor therapeutic effects. A 3D cartilage-like ECM hydrogel with tuneable mechanical properties was synthesized, and its effects on BMSC survival and differentiation were investigated. The GMOCS/BMSC transplantation effectively inhibited bone bridge formation and promoted the repair of damaged growth plates, indicating its potential as a therapeutic candidate for growth plate injury.
