Micronutrient optimization for tissue engineered articular cartilage production of type II collagen [PDF]
Tissue Engineering of cartilage has been hampered by the inability of engineered tissue to express native levels of type II collagen in vitro. Inadequate levels of type II collagen are, in part, due to a failure to recapitulate the physiological ...
