Recently, numerous efforts have been made in order to find solutions to repair and regenerate the meniscus, supported by both bioengineering researchers and orthopedic surgeons. However, it is quite vulnerable and therefore tears can occur within this tissue and compromise the proper function of the knee. It plays a key role in the stability of the knee joint. The meniscus corresponds to a crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous tissue, which is found in the knee joint between the femoral condyles and the tibial plateau. The knee joint is made up of the interaction between bones (femur, tibia, and patella), tendons, ligaments, and the two menisci (lateral and medial) in order to ensure smooth body movements. However, defects in tissues composing the knee joint can drastically alter our ability to complete those simple actions. Walking, running, jumping, or even just standing up are habits that we all have to perform in our everyday lives.
