Abstract excerpt
In reconstructive surgery there is increasing demand for cartilage transplants to fill defects, especially nose and/or outer ear defects. Tissue engineering is one of the most modern pathways to generate autologous cartilage transplants. Isolated chondrocytes obtained from a tiny patient's biopsy were seeded on bioresorbable preshaped cell carriers to provide a 3-dimensional cell arrangement as in vivo. The...
