Lab-grown cartilage mimics the real thing
June 21, 2017 /
Biomedical engineers have created an artificial, lab-grown tissue that mirrors natural cartilage.
The tissue, grown under tension but without a supporting scaffold, shows similar mechanical and biochemical properties to natural cartilage.
Articular cartilage provides a smooth surface for our joints to move, but it can be damaged by trauma, disease, or overuse. Once damaged, it does not regrow and is difficult to replace.
