Athymic nude mice were used as an animal model to evaluate the chondrogenic effects of bovine fetal chondrocytes seeded onto a new poly-N-acetyl glucosamine sponge. Results show excellent hyaline-like cartilage formation with high glycosaminoglycan concentration after 6 weeks. At 4 weeks there is less cartilage formation and more fibrous tissue infiltrate. Although further studies are needed, these initial data support the use of poly-N-acetyl glucosamine sponge as a scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering. |
