Table 3 Overview of advantages and disadvantages of various scaffolds
CellsMaterialResults
ChondrocyctesPoly(epsilon-caprolactone)-block-poly(L-lactide)Applicable for cartilage tissue engineering
Rabbit marrow mesenchymal stem cellsOligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate) with encapsulated cells and gelatin microparticles loaded with TGF-β1Maintained viability of cells for 14 d
Differentiation of cells into chondrocyte-like cells
ChondrocytesGelatin microparticle aggregates, +/- TGF-β1Supported viability and function of chondrocytes
Applications in cartilage-engineering
Human adipose derived stem cellsGenipin-crosslinked cartilage derived matrixUsing genipin resulted in contraction free biomaterial.
Chondrogenesis
Human mesenchmal stem cellsPoly(epsilon-caprolactone)Cell colonization, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were related to the micro-architecture of the pore structure
Human chondrocytesBlend of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) and polyvinyl alcoholSupported cell adhesion and growth
After implantation, there was better bone in-growth and bone formation inside the scaffold.
Bone marrow stem cellsPolyglycolic acid, poly (lactic acid)Cell infiltrated the scaffold
Good cellular compatibility
Applicable to repair craniomaxillofacial bone defects
