title: Editorial commentary: tissue engineering in knee arthroscopic and related surgery.
abstract: Stem cells are guided by scaffolds, induced by growth factors, and stimulated by biomechanical forces, with a goal of engineering clinically competent cartilage, meniscus, tendon, or ligament tissue. Translational research, to move us from the preclinical to the clinical phase, is today necessary.
