  Previous research in this laboratory has focused on the development of viable tissue engineered structures of the knee including articular (hyaline) and meniscal (fibrocartilage) cartilage, as well as bone. These tissues are engineered from adult stem cells extracted from fat tissue and bone marrow, as well as, biologic matrices and growth factors. The goal of this research will be curing the patient’s arthritis by re-establishing articular cartilage using their own stem cells.
