“…Experimental models involving cell or tissue culture of chondrocytes or chondrogenic cells have demonstrated the feasibility of growing cartilage in vitro. These include, but are not limited to, the use of chondrocytes [3,16,17], mesenchymal stem cells [ 18, 19,67] and whole tissues such as periosteum [ 15,30,35,36,42,56,57] or perichondrium [1, 2,5,7,[9][10][11][12]21,46,47,50,58,59,65] genesis. Many of these systems have relied on the use of fetal bovine serum in the medium.…”
