Abstract:
Recently,tissue-engineered chondrocyte transplantation has been tried to treat full-thickness cartilage defects.Of the many scaffold materials being investigated,collagen,with good biocompatibility,biodegradable and biological activity,has been shown to have many advantageous features for the proliferation,the attachment and the differentiation.The present article reviews the applications and prospects of collagen in cartilage tissue engineering.
