Decellularized cartilage may be a chondroinductive material for osteochondral tissue engineering.

Extracellular matrix (ECM)-based materials are attractive for regenerative medicine in their ability to potentially aid in stem cell recruitment, infiltration, and differentiation without added biological factors.
