- Complex surgeries often involve using autologous cartilage from places like the rib to reconstruct lesions in aural, nasal, and tracheal cartilage, but cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) offers a potential alternative.
- Researchers utilized a custom glass bioreactor to improve cell migration into decellularized porcine cartilage scaffolds seeded with human nasal chondrocytes, finding that this dynamic culture significantly enhances cell migration compared to static methods.
- While the bioreactor initially improved cell differentiation in the first 14 days, maintaining this differentiation over time remains a key challenge for advancing clinical applications in cartilage regeneration.
Microvascular procedures require visual magnification of the surgical field, e.g. by a microscope.
