Hyaline articular cartilage lacks blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves and is characterised
by limited self‐repair ability following injury. Traditional techniques of articular cartilage …

This review explores scaffold-free methods as an additional paradigm for tissue
engineering. Musculoskeletal cartilages—for example articular cartilage, meniscus …

Osteoarthritis (OA) as a debilitating affliction of joints currently affects millions of people and
remains an unsolved problem. The disease involves multiple cellular and molecular …

Biological resurfacing of entire articular surfaces represents an important but challenging
strategy for treatment of cartilage degeneration that occurs in osteoarthritis. Not only does …

Engineering of cartilage tissue in vitro using porous scaffolds and chondrocytes provides a
promising approach for cartilage repair. However, nonuniform cell distribution and …

The aim of this study was to develop a fetal cartilage-derived progenitor cell (FCPC) based
cartilage gel through self-assembly for cartilage repair surgery, with clinically useful …

Objective To investigate the effect of electronspun PLGA/HAp/Zein scaffolds on the repair of
cartilage defects. Methods The PLGA/HAp/Zein composite scaffolds were fabricated by …

Low collagen accumulation in the extracellular matrix is a pressing problem in cartilage
tissue engineering, leading to a low collagen-to-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) ratio and poor …

Articular cartilage, together with skin, was predicted to be one of the first tissues to be
successfully engineered. However cartilage repair remains nowadays still elusive, as we are …

Biological resurfacing of entire articular surfaces represents a challenging strategy for the
treatment of cartilage degeneration that occurs in osteoarthritis. Not only does this approach …
