Producing a flexible tissue-engineered cartilage framework using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane as a pseudoperichondrium

Both native and engineered cartilage is brittle and fractures easily without perichondrium. The aim of this study was to understand the role of the perichondrium and try to enhance the flexible properties of tissue-engineered cartilage using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane as a pse...
