Complementary Strategies to Promote Mesenchymal Stem Cell Differentiation for Ligament Tissue Engineering
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures and tears are significant orthopedic problems that result in discomfort and limited mobility. Fully functional tissue engineered ligament replacements are promising alternatives to current graft choices for repair of ACL disruptions. The cell-based approac...
