Conclusions

Since cartilage has no regenerative properties, tissue engineered replacements which provide to the defect site isolated cells, alone or in conjunction with a structural scaffold of biodegradable biomaterials, allow for long-term integrated repair of the tissue and are thus indicated for the surgical treatment of arthritis, trauma, or congenital abnormalities. Chon-drocytes and mesenchymal stem cells show great potential in the development of cartilage-like tissue both in vitro and in vivo. Bioengineered in vivo tissue transplantation holds advantages over cell therapy since the presence of an ECM matrix may not only provide a stable support for cells, but also ensures that the transplanted cells remain in the treated site and act as a source for growth factors which stimulate correct cell differentiation.
