[Excerpt] Cartilage tissue loss, as a result of trauma, congenital disorders and diseases of joints, involving structural damage of articular cartilage surface, is a substantial clinical problem representing a major
challenge for cartilage tissue engineering. The aim of our study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo behavior of human articular chondrocytes encapsulated within a novel carrageenan in situ injectable
hydrogel for cartilage tissue engineering and regeneration. Human articular chondrocytes (Hac) were expanded using a well defined serum free medium able to support cell proliferation and
differentiation with high cell chondrogenicity. [...]info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
