The in vitro and in vivo capacity of culture-expanded human cells from several sources encapsulated in alginate to form cartilage

The in vitro and in vivo capacity of culture-expanded human cells from several sources encapsulated in alginate to form cartilage

Cartilage has limited self-regenerative capacity. Tissue engineering can offer promising solutions for reconstruction of missing or damaged cartilage. A major challenge herein is to define an appropriate cell source that is capable of generating a stable and functional matrix. This study evaluated t...
