applications are being developed with the aim to replace, remodel, regenerate or support …

Recent advances in bioprinting have granted tissue engineers the ability to assemble
biomaterials, cells and signaling molecules into anatomically relevant functional tissues or …

Evidence has been building that the pathologic drive for development of osteoarthritis (OA)
involves more than simple mechanical “wear and tear.” Inflammatory mechanisms play an …

In the absence of timely and proper treatments, injuries to articular cartilage (AC) can lead to
cartilage degeneration and ultimately result in osteoarthritis. Regenerative medicine and …
