Abstract excerpt
Obtaining a sufficient number of cells ex vivo for tissue regeneration, which are appropriate for cartilage repair, requires improved techniques for the continuous expansion of chondrocytes in a manner that does not change their innate characteristics. Rapid senescence or dedifferentiation during in vitro expansion results in loss of chondrocyte phenotype and the formation of fibrous cartilage replacement tissue,...
