Although numerous biomaterials have been investigated as scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering, the effect of their microstructure on final construct characteristics remains unclear. The biocompatibility of chitosan and its similarity with glycosaminoglycans make it attractive as a scaffold for

## Abstract Regenerative tissue engineering requires biomaterials that would mimic structure and composition of the extracellular matrix to facilitate cell infiltration, differentiation, and vascularization. Engineered scaffolds composed of natural biomaterials silk fibroin (SF) and chitosan (CS) b
## Abstract Type II collagen is known to modulate chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, MSCs from human bone marrow aspirates were used to study the modulating effects of type II collagen on MSC differentiation during the early stages of osteogenesis and adipogenesis. With
