Collagen Based Multilayer Scaffolds for Meniscus Tissue Engineering: In Vivo Test Results

Author(s):

Vasif Hasirci

Meniscus is an important component of the knee joint since it performs several crucial functions such as shock absorption, load bearing and transmission, maintenance of joint stability, and lubrication. The results of common meniscal injury repair approaches are not fully satisfactory with low mechanical properties and long regeneration times. A 3D collagen-based construct consisting of multilayers of lyophilized sponges separated by electrospun fibrous mats was prepared previously to serve as a substitute for meniscus. Mechanical properties of the construct were studied in vitro and a 3 to 4 fold increase was observed when a double crosslinking method was used.

Rabbit meniscal cells were cultured in vitro, expanded and s... view moreĀ»
