A Therapeutic Dose of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) for Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering holds great promise for developing functional tissue to repair damaged articular cartilage. However, cartilaginous tissues formed in vitro typically possess poor mechanical properties in comparison to native tissue due to the inability of chondrocytes to accumulate adequate amoun...
