 Articular cartilage damage can lead to osteoarthritis, a debilitating condition that affects millions of people globally. Tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach to treat this condition by creating artificial cartilage tissues using scaffold technology. Recent advancements in fabrication techniques have enabled the development of scaffolds with complex, biomimetic designs and properties, such as hybrid and zonal designs. These scaffolds have shown promise in cartilage tissue repair and may provide a viable alternative to current treatments. This article was authored by Shonbiao Chen, Zarya Zatafar and William Kulik.
