Endogenous regenerative technology using plasma- and platelet-derived growth factors

Cartilage tissue engineering is becoming increasingly popular for repairing cartilage defects. However, lack of nerves and blood vessels, as well as low cell density cause inadequate cartilage tissue regeneration. As a result, it is critical to create an appropriate microenvironment for chondrocyte proliferation. Hydrogels, as three-dimensional cross-linked polymeric networks, are considered promising alternatives to cartilage tissue due to...
