The Potential of Human Allogeneic Juvenile Chondrocytes for Restoration of Articular Cartilage
27 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Donor-site morbidity, limited numbers of cells, loss of phenotype during ex vivo expansion, and age-related decline in chondrogenic activity present critical obstacles to the use of autologous chondrocyte implantation for cartilage repair. Chondrocytes from juvenile cadaveric donors may represent an alternative to autologous cells. Hypothesis/ PURPOSE: The authors hypothesized that juvenile...
