ASTM Committee on F4 Medical and Surgical Materials and Devices, Division IV, Tissue Engineered Medical Products (TEMPs), Biomaterials and Biomolecules for TEMPs Subcommittee (F4.42) has been developing standards for characterizing natural materials used in TEMPs. Natural materials include alginate, chitosan, collagen and hyaluronate. These materials support cell growth and differentiation on TEMPs substrates and scaffolds. Natural materials have been used in a variety of applications, including encapsulation, cell seeding, development of "memory" biomaterials, as well as degradable scaffolds, growth factor/nucleic acid delivery vehicles, and as a carrier to improve product handling characteristics. These materials have typically been very poorly characterized as to their chemical, physical and biological properties. This has resulted in variability in the products produced from these starting materials. The development of Standard Guides and Test Methods for characterizing natural materials is anticipated to reduce the variability of these starting materials and to aid in the assessment of the safety of the subsequent TEMPs.

The knee meniscus was once thought to be a vestigial tissue, but is now known to be instrumental in imparting stability, shock absorption, load transmission, and stress distribution within the knee joint. Unfortunately, most damage to the meniscus cannot be effectively healed by the body. Meniscus tissue engineering offers a possible solution to this problem by striving to create replacement tissue that may be implanted into a defect site. With a strong focus on structure-function relationships, this book details the essential anatomical, biochemical, and mechanical aspects of this versatile tissue and reviews current meniscus tissue engineering strategies and repair techniques. We have written this text such that undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers will find it useful as a first foray into tissue engineering, a cohesive study of the meniscus, or a reference for meniscus engineering specifications. Table of Contents: Structure-Function Relationships of the Knee Meniscus / Pathophysiology and the Need for Tissue Engineering / Tissue Engineering of the Knee Meniscus / Current Therapies and Future Directions
