Figure 2. Autologous chondrocyte implantation, steps 3-5. The periosteum is obtained through a small separate incision over the anteromedial tibia, just distal to the insertion of the pes tendons.

For those with arthritis, the aim will be to develop the technology to enable more rapid and tailored cell culturing for use in already available Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI).

Knee replacement is a serious surgery that takes many hours and has a long recovery. It helps people with disabling knee pain and extreme cartilage deterioration, but it doesn't last forever ...

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is a treatment that involves taking a sample of tissue from a person’s joints and using it to grow new cartilage cells, chondrocytes, in a laboratory.

ST. LOUIS — A newly FDA-approved procedure allows patients to regrow their own knee cartilage using autologous cell implantation. The treatment, known as MACI (Matrix Autologous Chondrocyte ...

Long-term outcomes in larger cohorts after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) are required. Furthermore, little is known about the longer-term clinical and radiological outcomes ...

A new approach called autologous chondrocyte implantation is being developed. It uses a person’s cartilage cells (chondrocytes) to help grow new cartilage that can be placed into the joint.

Published results showed long delays between two-stage cell-based cartilage restoration surgeries with either autologous chondrocyte implantation or matrix autologous chondrocyte implantation may ...

ABSTRACT To describe a case of autologous chondrocyte implantation after cell culture contamination by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and the measures taken to successfully complete cell therapy in a patient ...
