Clinically, the symptoms of red, swelling, heat, pain, dysfunction and joint deformity of joints are that the serious symptoms cause joint disability and influence the life quality of patients. Therefore, finding a suitable regimen for treating osteoarthritis is a focus of research in the medical arts today.
While organisms have self-healing capabilities themselves, the ability to self-repair is limited, and when body damage exceeds a certain limit, self-repair becomes difficult to achieve, with traditional medical techniques helping little to such conditions.

The functional expression of cells in an in-vitro environment is often different from that in-vivo environment, and in order to realize in-vitro tissue culture and maintain the normal functional expression of cells in the in-vitro environment, it is often necessary to construct a tissue engineering scaffold simulating the in-vivo environment as a cell carrier.
