Building the Bionic Knee

Using compressive stimulation to tissue engineer cartilage in a collagen composite biomaterial

Buch

Cartilage is a connective tissue integral to the functioning of joints. A promising step in treating defective cartilage is the implantation of autologous bone marrow stem cells at the defect site. When carried by an appropriate scaffold to provide chondrogenic signals, bone marrow stem cells can differentiate into cartilage. Previous studies show that cells seeded in hydrogels without the inclusion of fibers experience cell-mediated contraction that leads swiftly to cell mediated death; the fibers are also considered key to improving mechanical strength of hydrogels. However, after three weeks in vitro in a collagen gel 3-D matrix, cells see… Mehr
