Abstract
The technology of cartilage tissue engineering provides a new strategy for treatment of bone, cartilage disease. The main method of the technology is to regenerate cartilage on the basis of co-culture of seeding cells and biodegradable scaffolds, and repair or reconstruct cartilage tissue ultimately. The choice of seeding chondrocytes, the construction of scaffolds and the optimization of culture environment play important roles in cartilage regeneration, they also constitute the crucial issues of cartilage tissue engineering.
