Abstract excerpt
During in vitro expansion, adult human articular cartilage-derived cells (HACDC) lose their phenotypic stability and capacity to form cartilage in vivo after 4-6 population doublings (PD). Nevertheless, HACDC can be efficiently expanded for up to 20 PD. Here we show that HACDC can generate cartil...
