This project focuses on restoring energy absorption in degenerative knee cartilage through tissue engineering. By optimizing cell-enriched hydrogel implants, it aims to enhance the mechanical properties of the regenerated cartilage, addressing osteoarthritis effectively.
Knee cartilage defects and consequent degeneration contribute to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). OA affects the mechanical integrity of the tissue, whose main function is to absorb shock and minimize peak loads in the underlying subchondral bone.Tissue engineering methods propose solutions to OA by implanting chondrocyte cell-enriched hydrogel/scaffold constructs within degenerative cartilage defects.
By applying mechanical loads to stimulate the cells within the constructs, they initiat…
