Dynamic Mechanical Compression of Chondrocytes for Tissue Engineering: A Critical Review

Articular cartilage functions to transmit and translate loads. In a classical structure–function relationship, the tissue resides in a dynamic mechanical environment that drives the formation of a highly organized tissue architecture suited to its biomechanical role. The dynamic mechanical environme...
