Cartilage tissue engineering using pre-aggregated human articular chondrocytes
In this study, we first aimed at determining whether human articular chondrocytes (HAC) proliferate in aggregates in the presence of strong chondrocyte mitogens. We then investigated if the aggregated cells have an enhanced chondrogenic capacity as compared to cells cultured in monolayer. HAC from f...
