Sliding contact loading enhances the tensile properties of mesenchymal stem cell-seeded hydrogels
The primary goal of cartilage tissue engineering is to recapitulate the functional properties and structural features of native articular cartilage. While there has been some success in generating near-native compressive properties, the tensile properties of cell-seeded constructs remain poor, and k...
