Replacement of body parts has been studied for at least 2500 years, when missing teeth
were substituted with artificial teeth engraved from the bones of oxen. 1 Artificial substitutes …

Despite the many advances in tissue engineering approaches, scientists still face significant
challenges in trying to repair and replace soft tissues. Nature-inspired routes involving the …

Naturally derived polymers have been extensively used in scaffold production for cartilage
tissue engineering. The present work aims to evaluate and characterize extracellular matrix …

Native articular cartilage is subjected to synovial fluid flow during normal joint function. Thus,
it is believed that the morphogenesis of articular cartilage may be positively regulated by the …

Chitosan–gelatin polyelectrolyte complexes were fabricated and evaluated as tissue
engineering scaffolds for cartilage regeneration in vitro and in vivo. The crosslinker for the …

A porous biodegradable polyurethane nanocomposite based on poly (caprolactone)(PCL)
and nanocomponents derived from montmorillonite (Cloisite® 30B) was synthesized and …

Objective: Orthopaedic injury is the most common cause of lost training days or premature
retirement in the equine athlete. Cell-based therapies are a potential new treatment option in …

Recently, scaffolds for tissue regeneration purposes have been observed to utilize
nanoscale features in an effort to reap the cellular benefits of scaffold features resembling …

In this study, a system of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DEXP)-loaded chitosan
nanoparticles embedded in poly-ε-caprolacton (PCL) and gelatin electrospun nanofiber …

Limited supplies of healthy autologous or allogeneic cartilage sources have inspired a
growing interest in xenogeneic cartilage matrices as biological scaffolds for cartilage tissue …
