Limitations of HA-based systems

HA-based systems encounter issues with mechanical strength, controlled degradation influenced by enzymatic activity and inflammation, and biocompatibility, while their structural simplicity poses challenges for tissue integration, cellular interaction, biological response control, and scalable, reproducible fabrication, particularly in 3D bioprinting
