Functionally graded materials for orthopedic applications – an update on design and manufacturing

TL;DR: Two fundamental topics are dedicated to, which are essential to benefit from the use of FGMs for orthopedic applications, namely the computational tools for materials design and geometry optimization and the manufacturing techniques currently available to produce FGM-based grafts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current strategies in multiphasic scaffold design for osteochondral tissue engineering: A review.

TL;DR: The application of finite element analysis (FEA) in scaffold design and simulation of in vitro and in vivo cell growth outcomes and a summary of the existing challenges associated with the repair of osteochondral defects are brought up.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-layered collagen-based scaffolds for osteochondral defect repair in rabbits

TL;DR: A multi-layer collagen-based osteochondral defect repair scaffold designed to direct host-stem cell mediated tissue formation within each region shows the potential of this biomimetic multi-layered scaffold to support and guide the host reparative response in the treatment of oste mitochondral defects.

In vitro chondrogenesis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells

TL;DR: A culture system that facilitates the chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells has been developed in this article, where cells obtained in bone marrow aspirates were first isolated by monolayer culture and then transferred into tubes and allowed to form three-dimensional aggregates in a chemically defined medium.

Regulation of Rate of Cartilage Differentiation by Indian Hedgehog and PTH-Related Protein

TL;DR: In vitro application of Hedgehog or P THrP protein to normal or PTHrP (−/−) limb explants demonstrated that PTHRP mediates the effects of Ihh through the formation of a negative feedback loop that modulates the rate of chondrocyte differentiation.
