MeSH headings : Animals; Cartilage / physiopathology; Models, Animal; Translational Research, Biomedical; United States; United States Food and Drug Administration
TL;DR:
A systematic review of large animal cartilage repair studies demonstrates that few investigators attend to guidance documents published by regulatory agencies, and the availability of the documents appears to have little effect on adherence by researchers to the recommendations therein.

author keywords: Tissue engineering; Hyaluronic acid; Hydrogels; Cartilage; Integration; Maturation
MeSH headings : Animals; Cartilage / growth & development; Cattle; Tissue Engineering

TL;DR:
The multidisciplinary results suggest that genetic modification to eliminate the αGal epitopes in the ECM bioscaffolds had not altered the properties of these ECMBioscaffolding and, as such, they should retain their performance in tissue engineering in humans.
