In vivo cartilage tissue engineering [PDF]
Background Biologic treatment options for cartilage injuries require chondrocyte expansion using cell culture. Clinical application is accomplished in two surgical sessions and is expensive. If isolation of chondrocytes and stimulus for proliferation and

Electrical Stimulation in Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Electrical stimulation (ES) has been frequently used in different biomedical applications both in vitro and in vivo. Numerous studies have demonstrated positive effects of ES on cellular functions, including metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation.

Advanced Nanocomposite Hydrogels for Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Tissue engineering is becoming an effective strategy for repairing cartilage damage. Synthesized nanocomposite hydrogels mimic the structure of natural cartilage extracellular matrices (ECMs), are biocompatible, and exhibit nano–bio effects in response ...

Cartilage progenitor cells combined with PHBV in cartilage tissue engineering
Background Bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) and chondrocytes have been reported to present “dedifferentiation” and “phenotypic loss” during the chondrogenic differentiation process in cartilage tissue engineering, and cartilage progenitor cells ...

The biology of the ovine functional spinal unit: facet cartilage and intervertebral disc [PDF]
Back pain will affect up to 84 % of people at some point in their lives. It is a major public health problem in Western society leading to disability and economic loss through work absence, physician visits and hospitalisation.

Tissue engineering and cartilage [PDF]
Human articular cartilage is an avascular structure, which, when injured, poses significant hurdles to repair strategies. Not only does the defect need to be repopulated with cells, but preferentially with hyaline-like cartilage.SUCCESSFUL TISSUE ENGINEERING RELIES ON FOUR SPECIFIC CRITERIA: cells, growth factors, scaffolds, and the mechanical ...

Tissue engineering of cartilage in space [PDF]
Tissue engineering of cartilage, i.e., the in vitro cultivation of cartilage cells on synthetic polymer scaffolds, was studied on the Mir Space Station and on Earth. Specifically, three-dimensional cell-polymer constructs consisting of bovine articular chondrocytes and polyglycolic acid ...

Cartilage tissue engineering: controlled release of growth factors. Effects of GDF-5, sexual steroid hormons and oxygen [PDF]
Articular cartilage is likely a major candidate to be successfully regenerated by tissue engineering methods; first commercial products have already reached the market. However, to fully regenerate articular cartilage tissue, further optimization appears
