Comparing Behavior of Chondrocyte Cells on Different Polyhydroxybutyrate Scaffold Structure for Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Introduction: As the ability to repair cartilage tissue in body is limited, finding a suitable method for cartilage regeneration has gained the attention of many scholars. For this purpose, scaffold structure and morphology, along with cell culture on it, can be a novel method to treat cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis. Methods: In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is selected as the scaf...
متن کاملBIOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF CHONDROCYTES CULTURED IN AN ELECTROSPUN THREE-DIMENSIONALPOLY(e-CAPROLACTONE) SCAFFOLD
Introduction Differentiated chondrocytes have been widely employed in studies of cartilage regeneration and tissue engineering. However, the low cell density of cartilage poses the problem of low cell yield following isolation for direct seeding onto scaffolds. To overcome this problem, chondrocytes are usually expanded in monolayer cell culture before seeding on any scaffold. This approach int...
متن کاملStudy of Chondrogenic Effects of Chondrocytes Cocultured With Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Purpose: Co-culture systems of marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) with mature chondrocytes have theoretically been considered as a putative way of MSCs chondrogenic differentiation. MSCs differentiated in this system could be used for transplantation purpose without of any need to their purification since the cells with which MSCs are co cultured are native cartilage cells. Despite o...

متن کاملEngineering zonal cartilage through bioprinting collagen type II hydrogel constructs with biomimetic chondrocyte density gradient
BACKGROUND Cartilage tissue engineering is a promising approach for repairing and regenerating cartilage tissue. To date, attempts have been made to construct zonal cartilage that mimics the cartilaginous matrix in different zones. However, little attention has been paid to the chondrocyte density gradient within the articular cartilage. We hypothesized that the chondrocyte density gradient pla...
