Dedifferentiated Chondrocytes in Composite Microfibers As Tool for Cartilage Repair

Dedifferentiated Chondrocytes in Composite Microfibers As Tool for Cartilage Repair

Tissue engineering (TE) approaches using biomaterials have gain important roles in the regeneration of cartilage. This paper describes the production by microfluidics of alginate-based microfibers containing both extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived biomaterials and chondrocytes. As ECM components gel...
