23 Jul Scaffoldless Constructs for Tissue Engineering of Articular Cartilage
Abstract
A process for culturing chondrocytes to form constructs which contain higher percentages of cells that retain the chondrocytic phenotype are disclosed. The tissue engineered constructs may be formed into neocartilage-containing compositions for a variety of in vitro and in vivo purposes. Methods of treating individuals in need of articular cartilage growth by implanting a new composition are disclosed.
