ABSTRACT
IMPACT STATEMENT Successfully treating osteochondral defects involves regenerating both the damaged articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone, in addition to the complex interface that separates these tissues. In this study, we demonstrate that a cartilage template, engineered using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, can enhance the regeneration of such defects and promote the development of a more mechanically functional repair tissue. We also use a computational mechanobiological model to understand how joint-specific environmental factors, specifically oxygen levels and tissue strains, regulate the conversion of the engineered template into cartilage and bone in vivo.
