Chondrocyte Project:

                   

Articular cartilage is frequently damaged as a result of trauma and degenerative joint diseases that may be driven by changes in biomechanics, cytokines, growth factors and cellular responses. Cartilage has no blood vessels; it is not innervated and normal mechanisms of tissue repair, involving the recruitment of cells to the site of damage, do not occur. The challenge for cartilage tissue engineering is to produce cartilage tissue with suitable structure and properties ex vivo, which can be implanted into joints to provide a natural repair that with time will become integrated with the patient's tissues.

Chondrocyte project
Pilot Study on Catrtilage Stem Cells
Our initial studies are focused on human articular chondrocytes, their expansion in monolayer culture under differing conditions and their subsequent potential to re-express a full matrix-producing phenotype. This project is being done in collaboration with orthopedics department of SPARSH hospital.

Standardization & process validation has to be carried out to start transplantation of chondrocytes.
