This review discusses and summarizes the recent developments and advances in the use of
biodegradable materials for bone repair purposes. The choice between using degradable …

Musculoskeletal tissue, bone and cartilage are under extensive investigation in tissue
engineering research. A number of biodegradable and bioresorbable materials, as well as …

Adult articular cartilage exhibits little capacity for intrinsic repair, and thus even minor injuries
or lesions may lead to progressive damage and osteoarthritic joint degeneration, resulting in …

Objective To review the basic scientific status of repair in articular cartilage tissue and to
assess the efficiency of current clinical therapies instigated for the treatment of structural …

Articular cartilage repair and regeneration provides a substantial challenge in Regenerative
Medicine because of the high degree of morphological and mechanical complexity intrinsic …

Ex vivo engineering of living tissues is a rapidly developing area with the potential to impact

Joint pain due to cartilage degeneration is a serious problem, affecting people of all ages.
Although many techniques, often surgical, are currently employed to treat this affliction, none …

This paper reviews recent work involving polymeric biomaterials used for skin, cartilage,
bone, vascular, nerve and liver regeneration. Skin trauma involves damage to the …

Cartilage tissue engineering is emerging as a technique for the regeneration of cartilage
tissue damaged due to disease or trauma. Since cartilage lacks regenerative capabilities, it …

Articular cartilage repair and regeneration continue to be largely intractable because of the
poor regenerative properties of this tissue. The field of articular cartilage tissue engineering …
