Combined chondrocyte-copolymer implantation with slow release of basic fibroblast growth factor for tissue engineering an auricular cartilage construct

Basic fibroblast growth factor (b‐FGF) may have a role in tissue‐engineered chondrogenesis. However, when applied in solution, b‐FGF rapidly diffuses from the implant site. In another approach for tissue engineering, poly‐lactide‐based copolymers have shown promise as scaffolds for chondrocytes used...
