Proliferation and collagen synthesis of human anterior cruciate ligament cells in vitro: effects of ascorbate-2-phosphate, dexamethasone and oxygen tension.
Clinical and experimental studies demonstrate that injured anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) do not usually heal and that autografts used to repair the ACL rapidly weaken in the early period and take a long time to regain strength. The aim of this study was to develop an in vitro culture system in w...
