Applications of Biocompatible Scaffold Materials in Stem Cell-Based Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Cartilage, especially articular cartilage, is a unique connective tissue consisting of chondrocytes and cartilage matrix that covers the surface of joints. It plays a critical role in maintaining joint durability and mobility by providing nearly frictionless articulation for mechanical load transmis...
