Abstract
En 中文
Meniscal injuries significantly impact knee function and pose clinical challenges globally. Conservative treatment and surgery are currently the more commonly used treatments, and there are still long-term joint problems such as incomplete meniscus healing and knee pain. Tissue engineering presents a promising alternative by using biomaterials, cellular therapies, and bioactive factors to repair meniscal damage. Despite the promising preclinical results, clinical applications still face challenges such as insufficient biomechanical strength, weak regenerative ability, or low durability. This review seeks to bridge clinical needs with engineering strategies by providing a comprehensive understanding of meniscal structure and function, as well as current treatments and their limitations. We aim to offer new insights to support the development of meniscus products in tissue engineering, thereby helping to lay a theoretical foundation for more accessible therapeutic solutions. Furthermore, we summarize recent advances in meniscus product research from both material and manufacturing perspectives within our laboratory.
