Maintaining the Cartilage Phenotype of Late-Passage Chondrocytes Using Salidroside, TGF-β, and Sulfated Alginate for Cartilage Tissue Engineering Applications.

Abstract excerpt

The limited self-repair capacity of cartilage due to its avascular and aneural nature leads to minimal regenerative ability. Autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) is a popular treatment for cartilage defects but faces challenges due to chondrocyte dedifferentiation in later passages, which results in undesirable fibroblastic phenotypes. A promising treatment for cartilage injuries and diseases involves...
