Hyaline cartilage is the nonlinear, inhomogeneous, anisotropic, poro-viscoelastic connective
tissue that serves as friction-reducing and load-bearing cushion in synovial joints and is vital …

The tissue engineering scaffold acts as an extracellular matrix that interacts to the cells prior
to forming new tissues. The chemical and structural characteristics of scaffolds are major …

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

Scaffolds produced by rapid prototyping (RP) techniques have proved their value for tissue
engineering applications, due to their ability to produce predetermined forms and structures …

Synthetic hydrogels with engineered, cell-mediated degradation sites are an important
category of biomimetic materials. Here, hydrogels are synthesized by a step-growth reaction …

Recent investigations into micro-architecture of scaffolds has revealed that mean pore sizes
are cell-type specific and influence cellular shape, differentiation, and extracellular matrix …

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 …

Bottom-up biofabrication approaches combining micro-tissue fabrication techniques with
extrusion-based 3D printing of thermoplastic polymer scaffolds are emerging strategies in …

Tissue Engineering (TE) aims to create biological substitutes to repair or replace failing
organs or tissues due to trauma or ageing. One of the more promising approaches in TE is to …
