Popis: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the potential to form the mechanically responsive matrices of joint tissues, including the menisci of the knee joint. The purpose of this study is to assess BMSC's potential to engineer meniscus-like tissue relative to meniscus fibrochondrocytes (MFCs). MFCs were isolated from castoffs of partial meniscectomy from nonosteoarthritic knees. BMSCs were developed from bone marrow aspirates of the iliac crest. All cells were of human origin. Cells were cultured in type I collagen scaffolds under normoxia (21% O
