Hybrid ceramic/hydrogel scaffolds for cartilage-bone interface regeneration

总结

For patients with osteoarthritis, damaged cartilage has a limited potential for self-repair, and as a result, surgery is often necessary. Osteochondral grafts have emerged as an attractive alternative or supplement to surgery for cartilage repair. While these grafts are capable of regenerating both bone and cartilage-like tissues, the ability to form a stable osteochondral interface between these two tissues remains a challenge. This technology combines a biomimetic hydrogel with a ceramic scaffold for regeneration of calcified cartilage and bone, as well as stable integration at the bone-cartilage interface. This technology may be developed to serve as an implantable osteochondral graft for the treatment of osteoarthritis and other diseases or injuries of the cartilage.
