... release. This study aims to develop and experimentally validate a computer-aided model that simulates the hydrolytic degradation kinetics of bioresorbable polymeric micropatterned membranes for tissue engineering applications. Specifically, the model applies to circumstances that are conducive...

The adopted design...

... replacement created by tissue engineering is a promising alternative. Several research groups have tissue engineered bone [Warnke 2004] and cartilage [Chung 2007] separately. The tissue engineering of a joint, consisting of bone and cartilage is the next frontier. The present study focuses on the design...
