   Nyckelord :autologous chondrocyte transplantation; dedifferentiation; redifferentiation; stem; cells;

   Sammanfattning : Articular cartilage has no or very low ability for self-repair and untreated lesions may lead tothe development of Osteoarthritis (OA). One method, which has been proved to result in longterm repair of isolated lesions, is autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT). LÄS MER

3. 2. The role of the microenvironment in growth plate and articular chondrocyte differentiation

   Författare :Zelong Dou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : One crucial process during skeletal development is joint formation. It starts with the interzone appearance characterized by high expression of Gdf5, Gli3, Wnt4 and Wnt9a, low expression of Col2a1 of the local compact elongated cells which subsequently give rise to most joint elements including articular cartilage as the ongoing joint cavitation.
