This study develops a 4D bioprinted self-folding scaffold that enhances cartilage formation in engineered trachea by enabling eCPCs to respond to scaffold curvature.

This paper develops a scaffold using decellularized meniscus and cartilage progenitor cells for airway reconstruction, showing successful recellularization and integration in a rabbit model.

The paper compares cartilage progenitor cells (CPCs) from ear, nose, rib, and joint with their chondrocytes and MSCs, finding CPCs have faster proliferation, reduced osteogenic/adipogenic potential, and resistance to hypertrophy.

This paper develops a triphasic in vitro model of the osteochondral complex that includes chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and endothelial cells to mimic vascularization and intercellular signaling.
