Tissue engineering is a promising strategy to treat tissue and organ loss or damage caused
by injury or disease. During the past two decades, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are an important component of the extracellular matrix as they
influence cell behavior and have been sought for tissue regeneration, biomaterials, and …

A cross-linking reagent is required to improve mechanical strength and degradation
properties of biopolymers for tissue engineering. To find the optimal preparative method, we …

Due to a blood supply shortage, articular cartilage has a limited capacity for self-healing
once damaged. Articular chondrocytes, cartilage progenitor cells, embryonic stem cells, and …

The meniscus has poor intrinsic regenerative capacity and its damage inevitably leads to
articular cartilage degeneration. We focused on evaluating the effects of Polyvinyl …

In vivo niche plays an important role in determining the fate of exogenously implanted stem
cells. Due to the lack of a proper chondrogenic niche, stable ectopic chondrogenesis of …

Polymer microcarriers are being extensively explored as cell delivery vehicles in cell-based
therapies and hybrid tissue and organ engineering. Spherical microcarriers are of particular …

The injury and degeneration of articular cartilage and associated arthritis are leading causes
of disability worldwide. Cartilage tissue engineering as a treatment modality for cartilage …

To reproduce a complex and functional tissue, it is crucial to provide a biomimetic cellular
microenvironment that not only incorporates biochemical cues, but also physical features …

The current treatments used for osteoarthritis from cartilage damage have their
disadvantages of donor site morbidity, complicated surgical interventions and risks of …
