## Abstract Recent study has shown that biodegradable polymers are attractive candidates for chondrocyte fixation and further transplantation in cartilage tissue engineering. Poly (glycolic acid) (PGA), a polymer of glycolic acid, is widely used in orthopedic applications as a biodegradable polymer

## Abstract ## Objective The use of bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has shown promise in cell‐based cartilage regeneration. A yet‐unsolved problem, however, is the unwanted up‐regulation of markers of hypertrophy, such as alkaline phosphatase (AP) and type X collagen, during in v
This study addresses the effects of cell density and serum on CD95 (APO-1/Fas) and CD95L (Fas Ligand) expression and on the induction of CD95-dependent apoptosis in human articular chondrocytes from normal knees. Subsets of articular chondrocytes in first passage monolayer culture expressed CD95 and
The objectives of this study were to establish a growth factor response profile for adult human articular chondrocytes, to determine whether this is unique for chondrocytes or influenced by the differentiation status of the cells, and to characterize growth factor interactions. It is shown that tran
