Effects of Hyaline Cartilage Tissue Transplant on Finger Regeneration in Mouse

Abstract: Mammals, which were designated as non-regenerating models among vertebrates also can be made to regenerate the lost structures if conditions favoring regeneration are provided, near the amputated site particularly during the early post amputational periods. Such findings would definitely show the way to bio-medical scientists to search means, so that human beings suffering from amputational injuries, with permanent disabilities can be provided reparative therapy with the help of tools of tissue engineering. Finger regeneration ability in mammals is very poor. It can be induced by Allografting of Hyaline cartilage at amputated finger. Studies carried out on transplantation of cartilage tissues near the wound surface after amputation of finger through middle phalanx have shown many interesting results.
