title: [Regeneration of articular cartilage].
abstract: Articular cartilage has very limited healing potential. Although there are several treatment options for cartilage defect, no treatment has been established as a gold standard procedure. Recently, a tissue-engineering technique has made great progress, and repair of cartilage has been given much attention in regenerative medicine. Since 1996, we have been performing transplantation of tissue-engineered cartilage made ex vivo for the treatment of human cartilage defect of the joint. This paper will summarize our procedure of articular cartilage repair and our novel stem cell delivery system using magnetic field.
