The present invention relates to a scaffold for articular cartilage regeneration that can be applied to the intermediate layer region of an articular cartilage or both the superficial layer region and the intermediate layer region thereof, and a method for manufacturing same. The scaffold for regeneration of an articular cartilage of the present invention provides mechanical features that are sufficient for transplantation or regeneration of an articular cartilage, has an excellent cell survival rate, provides high volume of antioxidation glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) to cells, and applies specifically to the superficial layer region and the intermediate layer region of the articular cartilage, which allow for convenient cell adhesion, and further enables convenient realization of a biometric surface environment that is effective for growth and differentiation of a stem cell. Therefore, the scaffold for articular cartilage regeneration of the present invention is effective for regeneration of damaged articular cartilage, which is useful for stem cell treatment of articular cartilage damage and diseases, and is also useful as prosthesis for plastic surgery for the nose and ear. |
