Abstract excerpt
Three-dimensional arrangement and subsequent transplantation of chondrocytic cells in resorbable polymers has been shown to be a promising technique for the treatment of cartilaginous defects. Engineering of artificial cartilage tissue includes dedifferentiation of chondrocytes in monolayer culture, the use of biodegradable matrices and polymer scaffolds, and re-expression of chondrocytic marker genes in...
