Advanced mimetic materials for meniscus tissue engineering : targeting segmental vascularization

Meniscus lesions are among the most common orthopaedic injuries which can ultimately lead to degeneration of the knee articular cartilage. The human meniscus has a limited healing potential, partly due to a poor vasculature, and thus meniscus regeneration using tissue engineering strategies has rece...
