Disclosed are scaffolds for regeneration of articular cartilage which are applicable to both the superficial zone and the middle zone of articular cartilage, and a method for manufacturing the same. The scaffolds have sufficient mechanical properties to support the implantation and regeneration of chondrocytes, and allow cells to show high cell viability with a high content of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). In addition, being applicable to both the superficial zone and the middle zone of articular cartilage, the scaffolds facilitate cell adhesion and provide biomimetic surface environments that are effective for growing and differentiating stem cells. Therefore, the scaffolds are helpful in regenerating damaged articular cartilage, thus finding applications in stem cell therapy for articular cartilage damage and disease. Also, the application of the scaffolds can be extended to prostheses of the ear and the nose in plastic surgery.
