According to Professor Dietmar W. Hutmacher, from QUT's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, weak structures are turned into mechanically strong ones through fibre reinforcement. | According to Professor Dietmar W.

- | "Such is the case with articular cartilage tissue, which is formed by stiff and strong collagen fibres intertwined within a very weak gel matrix of proteoglycans," Professorl; Hutmacher said. | + | "Such is the case with articular cartilage tissue, which is formed by stiff and strong collagen fibers intertwined within a very weak gel matrix of proteoglycans," Professorl; Hutmacher said. |
- | Professore Hutmacher also stated that by converging this concept with tissue engineering, it would be likely to learn how to choose an effective combination of matrix and reinforcement structure to achieve an enhanced mechanical properties for engineering body parts. He said that hydrogels were chosen because they featured excellent biological properties. | + | Professor Hutmacher also stated that by converging this concept with tissue engineering, it would be likely to learn how to choose an effective combination of matrix and reinforcement structure to achieve an enhanced mechanical properties for engineering body parts.

Despite of having these properties, hydrogels alone still can’t meet the requirements for a successful output for the tissue regeneration of the musculoskeletal system. | Despite of having these properties, hydrogels alone still can’t meet the requirements for a successful output for the tissue regeneration of the musculoskeletal system. |
