The application and research progress of in-situ tissue engineering technology in bone and cartilage repair / 中国修复重建外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To review the application and research progress of in-situ tissue engineering technology in bone and cartilage repair. Methods: The original articles about in-situ tissue engineering technology in bone and cartilage repair were extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results: In-situ tissue engineering have been shown to be effective in repairing bone defects and cartilage defects, but biological mechanisms are inadequate. At present, most of researches are mainly focused on animal experiments, and the effect of clinical repair need to be further studied. Conclusion: In-situ tissue engineering technology has wide application prospects in bone and cartilage tissue engineering. However, further study on the mechanism of related cytokines need to be conducted.
