Human Chondrocytes, Metabolism of Articular Cartilage, and Strategies for Application to Tissue Engineering
Hyaline cartilage, which is characterized by the absence of vascularization and innervation, has minimal self-repair potential in case of damage and defect formation in the chondral layer. Chondrocytes are specialized cells that ensure the synthesis of extracellular matrix components, namely type II...
