Physical Stimulation of Chondrogenic Cells In Vitro: A Review
22 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mechanical stimuli are of crucial importance for the development and maintenance of articular cartilage. For conditioning of cartilaginous tissues, various bioreactor systems have been developed that have mainly aimed to produce cartilaginous grafts for tissue engineering applications. Emphasis has been on in vitro preconditioning, whereas the same devices could be used to attempt to predict the...
