点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This work contributes to the development of advanced technologies in the area of biomaterials. The cartilage biomaterials generated in this work will lead to new medical applications in tissue reconstruction and replacement, which is of direct benefit to society by improving the methods used to treat joint disease and injury. As there is a significant commercial market for tissue-engineered cartilage products, this research also has implications for enhancing the scope and profitability of the Australian biotechnology industry. The project will be a vehicle for research training in a broad range of interdisciplinary areas. Students involved in the work will be equipped with a versatile and valuable combination of skills.
