In vitro construction technology is a key approach to industrialization and clinic application of engineered cartilage. However, it is very difficult to acquire a functional engineered cartilage with the present technology. Bioreactors can simulate the cartilage microenvironment in vivo and are expected to make up the shortcoming of the present technology. Current bioreactors in use are designed according to fluid shear pressure, hydrostatic pressure and/or direct compression, all of which can promote the development and mature of cartilage in vivo. Due to the failure to achieve ideal results by a single-purpose bioreactor, it will become a development direction in future to design and produce a compound bioreactor. This article reviewed the advances in the bioreactor for cartilage tissue engineering.

Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), also known as CD223, is a 498-amino-acid type I transmembrane protein encoded by LAG-3 gene, which consists of extracellular, transmembrane and intracellular regions.LAG-3 negatively regulates T lymphocyte by binding extracellular domain to ligand, thus avoiding autoimmunitycaused by T cell over-activation. Like programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), LAG-3 is an important immune checkpoint in vivo and plays a balanced regulatory role in human immune system.Tumor cells escape the surveillance of the immune system by over-expressing LAG-3 ligand. With the development in research of immune checkpoints, LAG-3 has become a new generation of immunotherapy targets after PD-1 and CTLA-4. This article reviews the structure and function of LAG-3 and the application of its inhibitors in tumor immunotherapy, in order to provide reference for the further study of LAG-3.
