Figure 2 Stem cell-based therapeutic strategies for cartilage repair.
A simplified schematic representing the application of stem cells - including mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells - in combination with bioengineering tools such as biomaterial scaffolds, growth factors, and three-dimensional bioprinting. These integrated approaches collectively drive chondrogenesis and facilitate functional cartilage regeneration. MSCs: Mesenchymal stem cells; iPSCs: Induced pluripotent stem cells; 3D: Three-dimensional.
