The meniscus plays an important role in preventing osteoarthritis of the knee. Repair of a
meniscal lesion should be strongly considered if the tear is peripheral and longitudinal, with …

The primary aim of tissue engineering scaffolds is to mimic the in vivo environment and
promote tissue growth. In this quest, a number of strategies have been developed such as …

Meniscus injury is a frequently encountered clinical orthopedic issue and is
epidemiologically correlated to osteoarthritis. The development of new treatments for …

Dense connective tissue injuries have limited repair, due to the paucity of cells at the wound
site. We hypothesize that decreasing the density of the local extracellular matrix (ECM) in …

Tissue engineering is a promising approach for the treatment of tissue defects.
Mesenchymal stem cells are of potential use as a source of repair cells or of important …

Meniscus injuries are among the most common athletic injuries and result in functional
impairment in the knee. Repair is crucial for pain relief and prevention of degenerative joint …

PURPOSE: The aim of this systematic review was to address tissue engineering and
regenerative medicine (TERM) strategies applied to the meniscus, specifically (1) clinical …

Meniscal tears in the avascular zone have a poor self‐healing potential, however partial
meniscectomy predisposes the knee for early osteoarthritis. Tissue engineering with …

Purpose: Treatment of meniscal injury is important for osteoarthritis (OA) prevention.
Meniscus cells are divided between inner and outer cells, which have different …

Background: Radial tears of the meniscus are a common knee injury, frequently resulting in
osteoarthritis. To date, there are no established, effective treatments for radial tears. Adipose …
