Context:

Articular cartilage lesions are a precursor to osteoarthritis.
Current surgical treatments often result in inferior fibrocartilage repair.
There is a need for advanced cartilage repair strategies to prevent osteoarthritis progression in young, active individuals.

Purpose:

To explore tissue engineering as a modern alternative for treating articular cartilage lesions.
To review current and potential cell sources for cartilage tissue engineering, including autologous chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells.
To discuss various scaffold types and their potential role in facilitating cartilage regeneration.

Summary:

Tissue engineering presents a viable alternative to conventional surgical techniques for articular cartilage defects.

Both autologous chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells are being investigated as cell sources for cartilage repair.

Scaffolds made from biodegradable polymers, fibrin, or collagen, in various forms and with or without growth factors, are crucial components of tissue engineering strategies.

Impact:

Tissue engineering aims to restore native articular cartilage function, thereby preventing osteoarthritis development.
The development of one-step surgical procedures, potentially involving arthroscopic implantation of stem cells, is a key goal.
Successful tissue engineering approaches could significantly improve treatment outcomes for cartilage injuries and reduce the long-term burden of osteoarthritis.
