The Application of Bioreactors for Cartilage Tissue Engineering: Advances, Limitations, and Future Perspectives.

TLDR
An overview of the concepts, categories, and applications of bioreactors for cartilage TE with emphasis on the design of various bioreactor systems can be found in this article,.
Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) has brought new hope for articular cartilage regeneration, as TE can provide structural and functional substitutes for native tissues. The basic elements of TE involve scaffolds, seeded cells, and biochemical and biomechanical stimuli. However, there are some limitations of TE; what most important is that static cell culture on scaffolds cannot simulate the physiological environment required for the development of natural cartilage. Recently, bioreactors have been used to simulate the physical and mechanical environment during the development of articular cartilage. This review aims to provide an overview of the concepts, categories, and applications of bioreactors for cartilage TE with emphasis on the design of various bioreactor systems.

Hydrogel composite scaffolds achieve recruitment and chondrogenesis in cartilage tissue engineering applications

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors constructed a skeleton-based scaffold that can be easily molded to fill cartilage defects of any shape that fit tightly into the host cartilage, and the skeleton provided a three-dimensional microenvironment supporting cell adhesion, proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation.

Growth of cell-strains and primary cells on micro-carriers in homogeneous culture.

A. L. Van Wezel
- 07 Oct 1967 - 
TL;DR: There are obvious advantages in culturing tissue cells in suspension instead of in monolayers and in using the suspension as a substrate for virus multiplication, and nobody has yet succeeded in growing diploid and primary cells by this method.

Energy-speed relationship of walking: standard tables.

TL;DR: The energy expenditure of level walking was measured in 260 normal male and female subjects walking around a 60.5m‐circular outdoor track and normative tables for the rate of oxygen uptake throughout the range of customary walking velocities were derived.

Effects of fluid-induced shear on articular chondrocyte morphology and metabolism in vitro

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that articular chondrocyte metabolism responds directly to physical stimulation in vitro and suggests that mechanical loading may directly influence cartilage homeostasis in vivo.
