TL;DR: To seek a suitable scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering, various hydrogel materials originating from animals, plants, or synthetic peptides are compared to suggest a weakness in gelling ability and storage of cells and matrices.

TL;DR: The porous biodegradable polymer scaffold used in the combination with atelocollagen hydrogel improved the quality of the tissue-engineered cartilage and showed the dense accumulation of macrophages, which may deteriorate the cartilage regeneration.

TL;DR: The implant formed by the human chondrocytes cultured in atelocollagen and poly(l-latic acid) scaffold under the BI + T3 stimulation consisted of sufficient hyaline cartilage with mechanical properties comparable with native cartilage after transplantation in nude mice, indicating that BI - T3 is the optimal combination to regenerate a clinically practical permanent cartilage from autologous chondROcytes.

TL;DR: According to the data using closely matched ones, the auricular chondrocytes seemed to more rapidly proliferate and produce less proteinases during this 3D culture than the nasoseptal ones.

TL;DR: QSR laser combined with the topical bleaching pretreatment appeared to treat acquired dermal melanocytosis consistently with a low occurrence rate of PIH and lessen the number of laser sessions and total treatment period.
