Cornell team to engineer novel cartilage tissue scaffolds
A Cornell team led by Professor Brian Kirby has recently initiated a project with support from the Morgan Tissue Engineering Initiative to engineer zone-specific phenotype in cartilage tissue scaffolds. This team, which includes Fiber Science professors Juan Hinestroza and Margaret Frey and Biomedical/Mechanical engineering professor Larry Bonassar, will use fiber-reinforced gel materials and electrokinetic control to create multiple cartilage zones in engineered scaffolds.
