TYPE II COLLAGEN MATRICWES FOR USE IN CARTILAGE ENGINEERING

摘要

The present invention relates to a matrix for use in engineering or regeneration of cartilage, which matrix consists of a network of modified type II collagen. The network is crosslinked in case the modified type II collagen is type II atelocollagen. Alternatively, the modified type II collagen comprises type II collagen fibrils that have been treated with high cutting to obtain fibril parts.
