Encapsulation of adipose-derived stem cells and transforming growth factor-beta 1 in carrageenan-based hydrogels for cartilage tissue engineering

Tissue engineering (TE) is an emerging field for the regeneration of damaged tissues. The combination of hydrogels with stem cells and growth factors (GFs) has become a promising approach to promote cartilage regeneration. In this study, carrageenan-based hydrogels were used to encapsulate both cell...
