Abstract
Articular cartilage is devoid of blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves which gives it a very limited intrinsic healing and repair capabilities. Being under constant harsh biomechanical environment, makes maintaining the health of articular cartilage a vital principle in having healthy joints. Tissue engineering as a method for regeneration of damaged tissue have attracted a lot of attention. Articular cartilage engineered scaffolds act as a macro scale drug delivery system which in addition to having a good mechanical properties similar to that of cartilage tissue, have to provide a highly porous environment for cell migration and proliferation. The aim of this study is to fabricate a drug...
