Abstract
Erosion of articular cartilage results in subsequent destruction of subchondral bone, generating an osteochondral defect. Osteochondral tissue engineering would benefit from the use of multi-phasic biomimetic scaffolds to promote simultaneous regeneration of articular cartilage and subchondral bone.
