Purpose: Meniscus is a fibrocartilagenous tissue that cannot effectively heal due to its complex structure and avascular zone present. Thus, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine offer an alternative for the regeneration of meniscus tissues using bioscaffolds as a replacement for the damaged...
