| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Current surgical techniques for the repair of the musculoskeletal system can be often limited by the availability, quality and quantity of materials, such as grafts to effect repair. This has led to the exploration and development of novel methods of intervention based on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. SOURCE OF DATA: This review summarizes the successes and investigations which are happening to date in the field of musculoskeletal tissue engineering. This is based on an extensive literature search and through basic research being performed by the authors. AREAS OF AGREEMENT: Due to the constraints surrounding certain surgical techniques and restrictions on their use, novel procedures are required for the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY: The choice of cell type has caused much debate within the tissue-engineering field. However it is widely accepted that currently only autologous primary/adult stem cells are fit for transplantation, until such times that optimized differentiation and selection protocols exist for embryonic stem cells. GROWING POINTS: The current results of the clinical cases utilizing tissue engineered constructs for bone and cartilage repair provide insights for improvement of these techniques thus allowing treatments to become increasingly viable. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH: There is a need to better understand the integration of scaffolds and cell populations into the target tissue. This should provide vital information influencing scaffold manufacturing procedures and cell selection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
