Numerical analysis of chondrocyte deformation in scaffold for regeneration
Details
Cartilage tissue has limited capabilities of regeneration. This thus makes it a candidate for tissue-engineered solutions. However the mechanical environment of chondrocytes embedded in an engineering scaffold has not been elucidated. Multi-scale finite element simulation based on the biphasic theory was performed to investigate the mechanical environment of chondrocytes in a tissue-engineered cartilage construct.
