## Abstract Articular cartilage is a specialized connective tissue containing chondrocytes embedded in a network of extracellular macromolecules such as type II collagen and presents poor capacity to selfβrepair. Autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) is worldwide used for treatment of focal
## Abstract We investigated the effects of lowβintensity ultrasound (LIUS) on the activity of human articular chondrocytes isolated from osteoarthritis patients and cultured in the threeβdimensional alginate beads. LIUS was treated at 0, 100, 200, and 300 mW/cm^2^ for 10 min everyday for 2, 7, or 1
