PROJECT SUMMARY Meniscal tears are the most commonly reported knee injuries, and approximately 1 million surgeries involving the meniscus are performed annually in the US. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches are being actively pursued as potential alternatives to overcome limitations of current clinical treatments. Yet, the translation of these approaches to clinical application has been hampered by their limited ability to efficiently and reproducibly create physiologic-sized scaffolds featuring anisotropic structural and mechanical properties on the order of native meniscus and zone-specific biological cues provided by the ECM. The overall goals of this proposal are to…
