23 Jul A CULTURE MEDIUM AND METHOD FOR CULTURING CHONDROCYTES
Abstract
THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES AN IMPROVED CULTURE MEDIUM AND METHOD FOR EXPANDING CELLS FOR USE IN TISSUE ENGINEERING AND CARTILAGE REPAIR. THE CULTURE MEDIUM ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT INVENTION PROMOTES 4 TIMES HIGHER CHONDROCYTE GROWTH RATE; SUPPORTED HIGHER CELL VIABILITY AND SHORTER DOUBLING TIME; PROVIDED 15 TIMES LARGER AMOUNT OF CHONDROCYTES COMPARED TO THE CONVENTIONAL MEDIUM. IN TISSUE ENGINEERING, THE CULTURE CHONDROCYTES FROM FORMULATED MEDIUM DEMONSTRATED HIGHER QUALITY IN MORPHOLOGICAL APPEARANCE, HISTOLOGICAL ANALYSIS AND ONE STEP RT-PCR EVALUATION.
