Articular cartilage injuries, which are well known for their inability to heal, often degenerate inexplicably to disastrous impairment. Multitudes of treatments have been devised for this problem, but no satisfactory long-term solutions have been established. However, over the past two decades, there has been swift growth and development of new knowledge and technologies for cartilage formation, pathology, and repair. Written by world-class experts, this book covers all the latest research and clinical applications related to cartilage tissue engineering, including the role of nanotechnology.
