Treatment of osteochondral joint surface defects: towards engineering a bio-artificial joint. KU Leuven
Current clinical treatments for large long bone and osteochondral defects are limited by either tissue availability or incapacity to regenerate tissues to their original functionality. Regenerative medicine, and more specifically tissue engineering (TE), shows great potential to meet this clinical need by creating in vitro implants able to heal large bone and osteochondral defects. The current PhD project aimed to develop a ...
