Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02078760A1] The invention concerns the preparation of a cartilaginous neo-tissue capable of being grafted. The method consists in: a) culturing chondrogenic cells, which are either autologous chondrocytes or cells precursors of chondrocytes prepared in vitro from pluripotent stem cells; b) contacting said chondrogenic cells with a chitosan hydrogel, having preferably a degree of acetylation ranging between 40 and 60 %, whereof the amphiphilic properties and the degree of acetylation is such that said cells adhere naturally to the outer surface of said hydrogel; c) covering the hydrogel/cell assembly thus obtained with a culture medium; and d) allowing a cartilaginous neo-tissue to develop in contact with the chitosan hydrogel during a minimum period of two weeks, frequently renewing the culture medium.
