Stanford researchers engineer 3-D hydrogels for tissue-specific cartilage repair

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) Unlike the one-size-fits-all, homogeneous approach to tissue engineering for cartilage replacement, a new study reports the ability to encapsulate cartilage-forming chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells in 3-D hydrogels within a stiffness gradient.
