Building cartilage, crafting bones

Can human tissue be recreated in the laboratory? Regenerative medicine is working to replace cartilage and bone tissue with biological implants. Using modern cell technologies, biomimetic materials and precise laboratory techniques, living tissues are engineered that are individually tailored to patients. This presentation provides an insight into current developments in regenerative medicine and demonstrates how research from the laboratory is paving the way for future therapies – with the aim of improving healing processes and creating new opportunities for personalised medicine.
