Influence of perfusion on metabolism and matrix production by bovine articular chondrocytes in hydrogel scaffolds.
Articular cartilage has a limited capacity for self-repair after damage. Engineered cartilage is a promising treatment to replace or repair damaged tissue. The growth of engineered cartilage is sensitive to the extracellular culture environment. Chondrocytes were seeded into alginate beads and agaro...
