## Abstract Novel chitosan‐poly(lactide‐__co__‐glycolide) (PLGA) composite fibers and nonwoven fibrous scaffolding matrices were designed for cartilage regeneration. A homogenous one‐phase mixture of chitosan and PLGA at a ratio of 50:50 (w/w %) was successfully produced using cosolvents of 1,1,1,3

## Abstract Critical‐size bone defects usually require the insertion of autogenous bone graft to heal. Harvesting of bone is traumatic and results in high morbidity at the donor site. A potential alternative to bone graft may be a bone substitute with adequate biocompatibility and biological proper
Incorporation of scaffolds has long been recognized as a critical element in most tissue engineering strategies. However with regard to intervertebral disc tissue engineering, the use of a scaffold containing the principal extracellular matrix components of native disc tissue (i.e. collagen type II,
## Abstract Hierarchically 2D/3D mesoporous–macroporous bioactive glasses (MMBG) with good molding capabilities and compressive modulus were synthesized by sol–gel method and evaporation‐induced self‐assembly process in the presence of both nonionic triblock copolymers, EO~70~PO~20~EO~70~ (P123) or
