The articular cartilage has insufficient intrinsic healing abilities, and articular cartilage
injuries often progress to osteoarthritis. Alginate-based scaffolds are attractive biomaterials …

Background The management of articular cartilage defects presents many clinical
challenges due to its avascular, aneural and alymphatic nature. Bone marrow stimulation …

Organ printing, a novel approach in tissue engineering, applies layered computer-driven
deposition of cells and gels to create complex 3-dimensional cell-laden structures. It shows …

Hyaline articular cartilage, the load-bearing tissue of the joint, has very limited repair and
regeneration capacities. The lack of efficient treatment modalities for large chondral defects …

Objective. Because mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into chondrocyte-like cells, we
ask the question, can mesenchymal stem cells commit to the nucleus pulposus phenotype …

Objective Muscle‐derived stem cells (MDSCs) isolated from mouse skeletal muscle exhibit
long‐time proliferation, high self‐renewal, and multipotent differentiation. This study was …

A major area in regenerative medicine is the application of stem cells in cartilage tissue
engineering and reconstructive surgery. This requires well‐defined and efficient protocols …

Cartilage remains one of the most challenging tissues to reconstruct or replace, owing to its
complex geometry in facial structures and mechanical strength at articular surfaces in joints …

Migration of chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be important in
cartilage development, tissue response to injury, and in tissue engineering. This study …

The chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow‐derived human mesenchymal stem cells
(MSCs) in a collagen type I hydrogel, which is in clinical use for matrix‐based autologous …
