Multi-Cellular And Multi-Scale Approaches For Cartilage Repair
… approaches to advance technologies for cartilage repair. For instance, co-culture systems have recently been introduced as a novel tissue engineering strategy for cartilage repair. We show here that a small pool of young/healthy chondrocytes (CH) can rejuvenate a larger pool of older/infirm …

The role of the bone marrow niche and G-CSF in osteochondral repair
… aim to relieve pain and maintain joint function. Procedures for osteochondral repair, such as drilling or microfracture of the subchondral bone, are thought to restore cartilage by delivering bone marrow cells to the defect site. However, the specific identity or contribution of these cells to the …
