Orthopaedics & Tissue Engineering

Overview

Orthopaedics corrects injuries or disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints and ligaments. Modern technologies in tissue engineering revolutionize tissue and/or organ repairs for function recovery. Combinations of stem cells, small molecules and biologics in biocompatible scaffolds are used to restore structural and functional deficit in bone, cartilage, facet joints, intervertebral disc, ligament/tendon and teeth. Efficacy and safety data in animal models is required to predict the biological effects of the product in humans.
