Requirement of direct contact between chondrocytes and macrophages for the maturation of regenerative cartilage

Abstract Regenerative cartilage prepared from cultured chondrocytes is generally immature in vitro and matures after transplantation. Although many factors, including host cells and humoral factors, have been shown to affect cartilage maturation in vivo, the requirement of direct cell–cell contact b...
