Connective tissue regeneration is a dynamic biological process crucial for maintaining tissue integrity, function, and overall organismal health. Successful regeneration of connective tissues is essential for healing after injury, addressing degenerative diseases, and improving outcomes of surgical interventions. However, this intricate process poses significant challenges. The complex interplay of genetic factors, environmental influences, and the delicate balance between inflammation and repair must be finely orchestrated for optimal regeneration. Challenges include the potential for fibrotic scar formation, limited vascularity in certain tissues, and the need to promote the differentiation of specific cell types. Deciphering the molecular and genetic mechanisms involved in connective tissue regeneration is fundamental to developing targeted therapeutic strategies that enhance tissue repair and functional recovery, addressing a critical need in regenerative medicine.

We welcome original research articles only, addressing novel genetic models, therapeutic interventions, and molecular insights into the regenerative and reparative potential of articular cartilage.
