Regenerative medicine for cartilage

  • Chapter
The Knee Joint

Abstract

Regenerative medicine is an emerging multidisciplinary field involving biology, medicine, and engineering that is likely to revolutionize the ways we improve the health and quality of life for millions of people by restoring, maintaining, or enhancing tissue and organ function. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by stimulating previously irreparable tissues to heal themselves. Regenerative medicine also includes the capacity to grow tissues and organs in the laboratory and safely implant them when the body cannot heal itself, as observed for cartilage tissue after damage or wear.

To achieve these goals, regenerative medicine research includes the following areas: a) cells including cell proliferation and diff erentiation, cell source, autologous/allogeneic/xenogeneic cells, stem cells, and genetically engineered cells; (b) biomaterials including novel scaff olds that are designed to improve growth and diff erentiation of cells in the process of forming functional tissue; (c) biomolecules including growth factors, differentiation factors, and angiogenic factors.
