Oxygen tension is a determinant of the matrix-forming phenotype of cultured human meniscal fibrochondrocytes.
BACKGROUND: Meniscal cartilage displays a poor repair capacity, especially when injury is located in the avascular region of the tissue. Cell-based tissue engineering strategies to generate functional meniscus substitutes is a promising approach to treat meniscus injuries. Meniscus fibrochondrocytes...
