  2. 1. Production of neocartilage tissues using primary chondrocytes

    Author : Janne Ylärinne; Mikko Lammi; Chengjuan Qu; Mats Brittberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; primary chondrocytes; articular cartilage; tissue engineering; neocartilage; scaffold; scaffold-free; hyaluronan; self-assembling peptide; TGF-β3; glucosamine sulfate; hypoxia; hypertonic medium; glucose;

    Abstract : Hyaline cartilage is a highly specialized tissue, which plays an important role in the articulating joints of an individual. It provides the joints with a nearly frictionless, impact resisting surface to protect the ends of the articulating bones. READ MORE

  4. 2. Chondrocytes Differentiation- Biological and Biomaterial Perspectives

    Author : Hanna Stenhamre; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; scaffold.; chondrocyte implantation; cartilage tissue engineering; dedifferentiation; redifferentiation;

    Abstract : Articular cartilage is an avascular tissue and once injured it does not heal spontaneously. A successful tissue engineering approach for cartilage reconstruction is autolougus chondrocyte implantation (ACI). READ MORE

  5. 3. Human articular chondrocytes. Plasticity and differentiation potentials

    Author : Tommi Tallheden; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : autologous chondrocyte transplantation; dedifferentiation; redifferentiation; stem; cells;

    Abstract : Articular cartilage has no or very low ability for self-repair and untreated lesions may lead tothe development of Osteoarthritis (OA). One method, which has been proved to result in longterm repair of isolated lesions, is autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT). READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on various culture systems for chondrocytes and osteoblasts

    Author : Juha Prittinen; Mikko Lammi; Minna Kellomäki; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; chondrocyte; osteoarthritis; surface materials; topography; tissue engineering; mechanical stimulation; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Osteoarthritis and osteochondral defects are ailments that are increasing in frequency as the lifespan of the population increases and sedentary lifestyle becomes more common. Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory disease that causes the progressive degeneration of articular surfaces and the underlying bone. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cartilage Tissue Engineering; the search for chondrogenic progenitor cells and associated signalling pathways

    Author : Maria Thornemo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : stem cell; progenitor cell; tissue engineering; cartilage; articular chondrocytes;

    Abstract : The socioeconomic cost of articular cartilage related diseases in the Western world is very high. The suffering of the individual patient is even more problematic. READ MORE
