Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue01:27

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, cartilage) share key properties.

  • These tissues exhibit poor vascularization and low cellularity (<10%).
  • They feature a specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) predominantly composed of collagen.
