Objective To review the basic scientific status of repair in articular cartilage tissue and to
assess the efficiency of current clinical therapies instigated for the treatment of structural …

The tremendous need for bone tissue in numerous clinical situations and the limited
availability of suitable bone grafts are driving the development of tissue engineering …

A general peptide design is presented that links the pH-dependent intramolecular folding of
β-hairpin peptides to their propensity to self-assemble, affording hydrogels rich in β-sheet …

The utilization of adult stem cells in tissue engineering is a promising solution to the problem
of tissue or organ shortage. Adult bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are …

Typical properties of poly (d, l-lactide)(PLA)-based scaffolds (films and foams), such as long
degradation time, mechanical stiffness and hydrophobicity, are sometimes not suitable for …

BACKGROUND: The developmental history of the chondrocyte results in a cell whose
biosynthetic activities are optimized to maintain the concentration and organization of a …

We report studies of bone tissue engineering using human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs),
a protein substrate (film or scaffold; fast degrading unmodified collagen, or slowly degrading …

Bone (re)-generation and bone fixation strategies utilize biomaterial implants, which are
gradually replaced by autologous tissues. Ideally, these biomaterials should be …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow are an important tool in tissue
engineering and cell-based therapies because of their multipotent capacity. Majority of …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the cell culture conditions of three‐
dimensional polymer scaffolds seeded with rat marrow stromal cells (MSCs) cultured in …
