Harm reduction in cartilage tissue engineering experimentation: a comparative review between Islamic and conventional ethics / Muhammad Aa’zamuddin Ahmad Radzi … [et al.]

Articular cartilage acts as a load-bearer in human joints. It is prone to injuries or damages by various factors which may lead to irreversible osteoarthritic condition if left untreated. Cartilage Tissue Engineering (TE) is a part of regenerative medicine domains which aims to repair, regenerate an...
