Cartilaginous neo-tissue capable of being grafted

摘要

A cartilaginous neo-tissue that is capable of being grafted is constituted by rows of approximately parallel cells with a cell maturation gradient orientated from a predetermined zone towards its periphery. During preparation of the cartilaginous neo-tissue with a chitosan hydrogel, the predetermined zone corresponds to the junction of cells with the chitosan hydrogel in contact with which the neo-tissue develops.
