Pediatric auricular chondrocytes gene expression analysis in monolayer culture and engineered elastic cartilage

Objectives: This study was aimed at regenerating autologous elastic cartilage for future use in pediatric ear reconstruction surgery. Specific attentions were to characterize pediatric auricular chondrocyte growth in a combination culture medium and to assess the possibility of elastic cartilage re...
