Hydrogels with Tunable Properties

This chapter describes the preparation of tissue engineered constructs by immobilizing chondrocytes in hydrogel with independently tunable porosity and mechanical properties. This chapter also presents the methods to characterize these tissue engineered constructs. The resulting tissue engineered constructs can be useful for the generation of cartilage tissue both in vitro and in vivo.
