A 3D finite element model to predict the arcade-like collagen structure in a layered PCL scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering

Recently, tissue engineering strategies have been increased in order to mimic as closely as possible the environment of the native tissue, improving the regeneration of its structure and function. Previous experiments of cartilage tissue engineering used scaffolds with a homogeneous structure. Howev...
