Upregulation of matrix synthesis in chondrocyte-seeded agarose following sustained bi-axial cyclic loading
OBJECTIVES The promotion of extracellular matrix synthesis by chondrocytes is a requisite part of an effective cartilage tissue engineering strategy. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the effect of bi-axial cyclic mechanical loading on cell proliferation and the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans by chondrocytes in three-dimensional cultures. METHOD A strain comprising 10% direct c...
متن کاملFunctional tissue engineering of articular cartilage through dynamic loading of chondrocyte-seeded agarose gels.
Due to its avascular nature, articular cartilage exhibits a very limited capacity to regenerate and to repair. Although much of the tissue-engineered cartilage in existence has been successful in mimicking the morphological and biochemical appearance of hyaline cartilage, it is generally mechanically inferior to the natural tissue. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the application of...
متن کاملCell-Seeded Collagen Matrix–Supported Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation (ACT-CS)
Objective: Autologous chondrocyte transplantation has become an established therapy for full-thickness cartilage defects. Cell-seeded collagen matrix–supported autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT-CS) has been introduced as a modification of conventional ACT, which allows easier handling and is intended to combine the advantages of using a cell suspension (i.e., cell viability and mitoti...
متن کاملEffect of compressive loading on chondrocyte differentiation in agarose cultures of chick limb-bud cells.
It is well established that mechanical loading is important to homeostasis of cartilage tissue, and growing evidence suggests that it influences cartilage differentiation as well. Whereas the effect of mechanical forces on chondrocyte biosynthesis and gene expression has been vigorously investigated, the effect of the mechanical environment on chondrocyte differentiation has received little att...
متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Study on Ratcheting Behavior of Plates with Circular Cutouts under Cyclic Axial Loading
In this paper, accumulation of plastic deformation of AISI 1045 steel plates with circular cutouts under cyclic axial loading is studied. Loading was applied under force-control conditions. Experimental tests were performed using a Zwick/Roell servo hydraulic machine. Under force-control loading with nonzero mean force, plastic strain was accumulated in continuous cycles called ratcheting. Nume...
