A translational approach to airway reconstruction leveraging decellularized meniscus and cartilage progenitor cells

Examine a translational tissue-engineering strategy using decellularized meniscal scaffolds and progenitor cell seeding for reconstructing pediatric airways.

Key Takeaways
  • Field of airway tissue engineering has seen little advancement over the past decade
  • Hydrogels have demonstrated translational success when injected to fill an osteochondral defect 23
  • This is a challenge for integration and has been reported to cause scaffold extrusion
