  In this article, based on the invited talk at the “Tissue Science 2012” meeting in Chicago on October 1-3, 2012, we describe some examples of characterization of engineered cartilage and bone tissue using magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Two different models of engineered cartilage and engineered bone tissue constructs were used for these studies: 1) chondrocyte based cartilage tissue engineering constructs: human and bovine chondrocytes seeded in alginate beads (Hydrogel scaffold model) or bovine chondrocytes grown as pellets (scaffold free model); 2) mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) based cartilage and bone tissue engineering constructs: human mesenchymal stem cell (HMSCs) seeded in cartilage biomimetic scaffolds (collagen/chitosan scaffold integrated with extracellular matrix of cartilage) or HMSCs seeded in collagen/chitosan scaffolds.
