Joint effort: scientists engineer solutions for repairing damaged cartilage
Article Abstract:
New approaches to repair diseased or damaged joints with the help of tissue engineering, a field populated by an interdisciplinary network of scientists, physicians, and engineers who are developing techniques for producing new and healthy cartilage, bone and other tissues for the purpose of restoring diseased or damaged tissue are discussed. Scientists use magnetic resonance imaging to study effects of therapeutic agents and other factors on engineered cartilage grown in a hollow-fiber bioreactor.

Article Abstract:
