  "summary": "Osteoarthritis, characterized by cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation, has spurred interest in mechano-piezoelectric bio-hydrogel therapies that can both relieve symptoms and reverse progression. However, current approaches lack sufficient piezoelectric output and dual cartilage/inflammation targeting. To address this, we demonstrated a mechano-piezoelectric peptide hydrogel composed…",
