Research Abstract |
New methods to treat the articular cartilage defects using adipose tissue in vitro were examined in the field of cartilage tissue engineering that already clinical trials had been started. Delayed gadolinium enhanced MRI of cartilage to evaluate the articular cartilage was efficient in clinical cases. New phenomenon that extracellular matrix could repair reversibly after an operation was observed.
