Development of hydrodynamically engineered cartilage in response to insulin-like growth factor-1 and transforming growth factor-beta1: formation and role of a type I collagen-based fibrous capsule

Articular cartilage which covers the surfaces of synovial joints is designed to allow smooth contact between long bones and to absorb shock induced during joint movement. Tissue engineering, a means of combining cells, biomaterials, bioreactors and bioactive agents to produce functional tissue repla...
