The ability of articular cartilage to repair itself is limited because it lacks blood vessels,
nerves, and lymph tissue. Once damaged, it can lead to joint swelling and pain, accelerating …

Cartilage defects are one of the most common symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA), a
degenerative disease that affects millions of people world-wide and places a significant …

Injuries to articular cartilage and menisci can lead to cartilage degeneration that ultimately
results in arthritis. Different forms of arthritis affect~ 50 million people in the USA alone, and it …

Chondral and osteochondral lesions due to injury or other pathology commonly result in the
development of osteoarthritis, eventually leading to progressive total joint destruction …

One of the most important issues facing cartilage tissue engineering is the inability to move
technologies into the clinic. Despite the multitude of current research in the field, it is known …

The field of regenerative medicine aims to replace tissues lost as a consequence of disease,
trauma or congenital abnormalities. Biomaterials serve as scaffolds for regenerative …

Background: The surfaces of the bones in the knee are covered with articular cartilage, a
rubber-like substance that is very smooth, allowing frictionless movement in the joint and …

Background: Cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) aims to obtain a structure mimicking native
cartilage tissue through the combination of relevant cells, three-dimensional scaffolds, and …

The field of tissue engineering continues to advance, sometimes in exponential leaps
forward, but also sometimes at a rate that does not fulfill the promise that the field imagined a …

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