Application of mesenchymal stem cells in cartilage tissue engineering

Jinzhao Liu

Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells has an extensive proliferative potential and an ability to differentiate into various cell types.In recent years,masenchymal stem cells have been applied in cartilage tissue engineering and they have shown significant potenital for carriage repair in animal models,and are being used as an ideal cell source in cartilage tissue engineering.Tissue engineering and stem cell technologies have established themselves as approved approaches for cartilage repair and eventually will be widely used in the clinical practive.This paper discusses the characteristics and the application of mesenchymal stem cells in cartilage tissue engineering.
