csm scaffold w cells 800x450

A study published in Nature is paving the way for more effective use of biocompatible materials, particularly in restoring cartilage. Cartilage is notoriously difficult to restore, as it requires a balance of mechanical strength and flexibility that are difficult to reproduce.

 

However, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are testing a new material that is a combination of hydrogels and microfiber scaffolding that could change that.
