Abstract excerpt
IMPACT STATEMENT: In recent years, cell-based therapy is a promising strategy for repairing defect cartilage. However, in vitro expansion of articular chondrocytes (ACs) for collecting enough cell numbers eventually develops cell de-differentiation. In the present study, we choose the proliferative layer chondroctytes (PLCs) of growth plate as new candidate. The novel findings include (1) the higher proliferation...
