The meniscus is one of the most commonly injured parts of the body, and meniscal healing is difficult. ⋯ This study revealed the direct effects of KGN on the chondrogenic differentiation of TSCs in vitro and in vivo. A KGN-treated autologous tendon graft induced formation of a meniscus-like tissue in vivo. This study provides a new cartilage regenerating technology for the treatment of damaged meniscus.
