Current practical approaches in cartilage engineering still face problems with three dimensional cell distribution or require components for cell immobilization, raising biocompatibility problems. In this study, we present a new model using cells cross-linked by fibrin within biocompatible resorbable polymers. Both components have been in clinical use for a long time. Immunohistochemical procedures showed that this model provides optimal requirements for in vitro cartilage production. Immunochemically, cartilage-specific extracellular components such as proteoglycan, chondroitin sulfate and collagen II were characterized. Histomorphological methods showed a mechanically stable tissue compound that lasted for at least 5 weeks. This model may be the first to provide all biocompatible requirements for in vitro production of autologous cartilage transplants for reconstructive surgery.

D002809 Chondroitin Sulfates Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate A, or chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate C, or chondroitin 6-sulfate, have the sulfate esterified in the 4- and 6-positions, respectively. Chondroitin sulfate B (beta heparin; DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate.
