Prefabrication of 3D cartilage contructs: towards a tissue engineered auricle--a model tested in rabbits.

Prefabrication of 3D cartilage contructs: towards a tissue engineered auricle--a model tested in rabbits.

The reconstruction of an auricle for congenital deformity or following trauma remains one of the greatest challenges in reconstructive surgery. Tissue-engineered (TE) three-dimensional (3D) cartilage constructs have proven to be a promising option, but problems remain with regard to cell vitality in...
