Transplantation of cartilagenous tissue generated in vitro into articular surface defects

An optimized cell culture system in which isolated chondrocytes reconstitute their extracellular matrix similarly to articular cartilage was investigated for use as transplants to resurface damaged joints. The cartilagenous tissue generated in vitro survived transplantation but an appropriate method...

Zusammenfassung:An optimized cell culture system in which isolated chondrocytes reconstitute their extracellular matrix similarly to articular cartilage was investigated for use as transplants to resurface damaged joints. The cartilagenous tissue generated in vitro survived transplantation but an appropriate method for graft fixation is required to make the procedure viable.
