Bi-layered constructs based on poly(L-lactic acid) and starch for tissue engineering of osteochondral defects

Articular cartilage has a limited capacity to repair itself, and conventional therapeutic approaches have shown to have limited success as they are deficient and inconsistent in long-term repair. Tissue engineering has shown to be an alternative route to regenerate articular defects. In this work, n...
