Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Cartilage tissue engineering involves creating artificial cartilage to repair or replace damaged cartilage in the body. It combines cells, like stem cells or cartilage cells, with scaffolds—materials that support cell growth—to develop new, healthy cartilage tissue. This process aims to restore joint function and reduce pain caused by conditions like arthritis or injury. Utilizing advanced techniques in biology and materials science, cartilage tissue engineering offers promising options for regenerative treatments, improving quality of life for patients with cartilage damage.
