CELL-SUPPORT MATRIX HAVING NARROWLY DEFINED UNIFORMLY VERTICALLY AND NON-RANDOMLY ORGANIZED POROSITY AND PORE DENSITY AND A METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

A cell-support matrix having narrowly defined uniformly vertically and non-randomly organized porosity and pore density and a method for preparation thereof. The matrix suitable for preparation of cellular or acellular implants for growth and de novo formation of an articular hyaline-like cartilage. A gel-matrix composite system comprising collagen-based matrix having a narrowly defined porosity capable of inducing hyaline-like cartilage production from chondrocytes in vivo and in vitro.
