Background:

Cartilage tissue engineering utilizes decellularized grafts as natural scaffolds.
Preserving the extracellular matrix (ECM) ultrastructure is crucial for graft efficacy.
Current methods require optimization for effective cartilage repair.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail an optimized protocol for cartilage decellularization.
To preserve native collagen architecture during decellularization.
To describe cell labeling methods for tracking infiltration during recellularization.

Main Methods:

Enzymatic digestion of proteoglycans to remove cellular components.
Preservation of the native collagenous extracellular matrix.
Detailed description of cartilage decellularization and cell labeling techniques.

Main Results:

An optimized decellularization protocol was established.
The native collagen architecture of the cartilage ECM was preserved.
Methods for cell labeling were refined for tracking infiltration.

Conclusions:

Optimized decellularization provides natural scaffolds for cartilage repair.
Preservation of ECM ultrastructure is key for successful cartilage tissue engineering.
The described methods facilitate the study of cartilage regeneration through cell infiltration tracking.
