New biological scaffold materials for tissue engineered cartilage and the modified construction technique / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

It is limited for cartilage tissue to repair its injury. The biological substitution of articular cartilage, namely artificial cartilage, has a good prospect due to the tissue engineering. Biological scaffold material is an important part of tissue engineering cartilage, and therefore, it is significant to explore the progress in biological scaffold materials for the construction of articular cartilage. The main research tendency of recent biological scaffold materials for artificial cartilage is to develop composite, bionic and intelligent materials with good biocompatibility and mechanical functions, through integrated application of surface modification, new construction technology and respective advantages of natural and synthetic materials.
