Cartilage with limited self-repairing ability is a kind of tissue with relatively hypocellular structure, low nerve distribution and vascular nutrient. Cartilage tissue engineering provides a new therapeutic idea for cartilage injured cartilage repairing in clinical practice. Electrospinning fibrous scaffold with three-dimensional structure like extracellular matrix is suitable for cell growth and bioactive factor loading for cartilage tissue engineering. This paper introduces studies of the application of electrospinning technology in repairing damaged cartilage by simulating highly hierarchical structures and mechanical features from the aspects of composition optimization, structure optimization and multi-technology combination.
