Abstract
We are confronting two problems at autologous chondrocyte implantation: chondrocyte dedifferentiation in monolayer culture and invasiveness of surgical procedure. Our intention is to make a tissue-engineered construct of three-dimensional gel scaffold that promotes chondrocyte cell phenotype and enables less invasive operation procedure. To monitor the differentiation state of chondrocytes a method for quantitative evaluation of gene expression by real-time PCR will be introduced.
