Why the study?
Articular cartilage defects do not spontaneously repair, making cartilage tissue engineering an attractive strategy for cartilage tissue regeneration.
Aligned nanofibrous PCL/PLGA scaffolds combined with specific signaling factors effectively promote chondrogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro.
No immediate clinical implications for cartilage repair; leaves open further in vivo validation of aligned scaffolds for chondrogenesis.
