  • Title: [Culture and cryopreservation of human mandibular condylar cartilage cells].
    Author: Jiao Y, Ma X, Yu S.
    Journal: Zhonghua Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi; 2001 Nov; 36(6):414-6. PubMed ID: 11930712.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To establish an effective way in cryopreserving mandibular condylar cartilage cells. METHODS: Human mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) cells were harvested and amplified by microcarrier culture technique. MCC cells were preserve in liquid nitrogen. The biological properties of cryopreserved MCC cells were investigated. RESULTS: Cells from liquid nitrogen preservation kept their phenotypic, proliferative an metabolic characteristics of MCC cells in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: Cryopreservation of MCC cells can supply adequate qualified cells for repairing the defects of mandibular condyle cartilage and temporomandibular joint disk.
