ABSTRACT: Cartilage injury is an important cause of osteoarthritis; however, there is no effective method of cartilage regeneration at present. Therefore, it would be of great value to explore and develop new methods of cartilage regeneration. In recent years, it has become a hot topic on repairing damaged cartilage by using tissue engineered cartilage domestic and abroad. It’s the key factor to success for getting cell source which is effective, applicable and easy to obtain in the technology of cartilage tissue engineering filed. This article summarizes the research progress of bone marrow extract buffy coat in cartilage tissue engineering.
