  • Publication number: 20190321451
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to systems (i.e. constructs) for repairing cartilage and methods for preparing the same that introduce a bioactive agent into a culture medium, suspension, scaffold, solution incorporated into the pores of the scaffold, or combinations thereof. The introduction of a bioactive agent promotes production of neo-cartilage (i.e. immature hyaline cartilage) in the system, both ex-vivo and in-vivo.
