A review on importance of histological evaluation for cartilage tissue engineering

Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that applies its principles towards the development of a biological substitute or human spare part that restores, maintains and performs similar functions to the native tissue. Besides an increasing number of basic and applied researches carried out on...
