Feasibility study on intact human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly as a scaffold for human autologous chondrocyte: In-vitro study.

Objectives: Placental tissue is an established biomaterial used in many clinical applications. However, its use for tissue engineering purposes has not been fully realized. Though articular cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived oriented scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering were developed, resources are a hindrance to its application.
