Schematic highlighting the process for constructing a tissue engineered interfacial construct. Materials, cell source, and growth factors are the central input considerations for a tissue engineering study design. The interfacial region requires complementary gradients of bone and soft tissue inputs. Following construct assembly, external stimuli such as mechanical loading can be applied to further aid in tissue development.
