1. An injectable hydrogel precursor composition consisting of:
about 10% by weight of gelatin, based on the total weight of the composition;
about 0.5-2% by weight of hyaluronic acid, based on the total weight of the composition;
about 0.5-1.0% by weight of genipin, based on the total weight of the composition; and
an aqueous medium having a pH ranging from 6-8;
wherein the injectable hydrogel precursor composition is in form of a clear solution through mixing and adapted to transition into a hydrogel at 37° C. with a gelation time ranging from 10 minutes to 40 minutes while remaining injectable at room temperature for at least 60 minutes, and the hydrogel has a compressive strength ranging from 300 kPa to 500 kPa.
