Abstract excerpt
Avascular (Avas) meniscus regeneration remains a challenge, which is partly a consequence of our limited knowledge of the cells that maintain this tissue region. In this study, we utilized microarrays to characterize gene expression profiles of intact human Avas meniscus tissue and of cells following culture expansion. Using these data, we examined various 3D culture conditions to redifferentiate Avas cells...
