Abstract excerpt
Although autologous chondrocyte implantation has already been in clinical use, chondrocyte dedifferentiation is problematic during proliferation culture. We attempted a three-dimensional (3D) collagen gel culture under chondrocyte proliferation with repeated passaging to prevent the chondrocytes...
