TL;DR: The results suggest that the genipin-cross-linked collagen/chitosan matrix may be a promising formulation for articular cartilage scaffolding.

TL;DR: The scaffolds developed in this study are proposed to be suitable for use in meniscus and cartilage tissue-engineered scaffolding as their structure integrity, morphology and mechanical properties were maintained after in vitro degradation for 30 days.

TL;DR: It is observed that 400-600 μm porous HFIP-derived silk fibroin scaffold demonstrated the best bone tissue formation outcomes, as evidenced by increased bone protein production, enhanced calcium deposition and total bone volume.

TL;DR: Novel porous bilayered scaffolds, fully integrating a silk fibroin layer and a silk-nano calcium phosphate layer for osteochondral defect (OCD) regeneration, were developed and showed that collagen II positive cartilage and glycosaminoglycan regeneration presented in the silk layer, and de novo bone ingrowths and vessel formation were observed in the Silk- nanoCaP layer.

TL;DR: A novel, pure, synthetic material is presented that promotes the repair of full‐thickness skin wounds using a novel heat‐based, stabilized form of human tropoelastin which allows for tunable resorption.
