Funded Activity Summary

Tissue engineering is a promising approach to repair damaged/degenerated cartilage caused by various diseases or injuries. Because of its limited capacity for self repair cartilage becomes a constriant to normal everyday life once degenerated. This project aims to develop composite polymers for cartilage repair. The potential of this newly developed material for cartilage tissue engineering will be investigated through the material and biological characterisation techniques.
