## Abstract ## Objective To observe redifferentiation of dedifferentiated chondrocytes after transplantation into the joint, and to evaluate the ability of dedifferentiated chondrocytes transduced with adenovirus containing bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP‐4) to redifferentiate in vitro and in vi
## Background: Defects of articular cartilage are an unsolved problem in orthopaedics. in the present study, we tested the hypothesis that gene transfer of human fibroblast growth factor 2 (fgf-2) via transplantation of encapsulated genetically modified articular chondrocytes stimulates chondrogene
