Abstract

The engineering of living tissues in vivo requires new concepts in cell culture technology. In contrast to conventional cell cultures, the development of tissues depends on a three-dimensional arrangement of cells and the formation or synthesis of an appropriate extracellular matrix. Special emphasis is given to the major role of the extracellular matrix and cell differentiation in an artificial tissue. New technical approaches of in vitro tissue engineering are compared to the natural development of tissues in vivo. Current methods using resorbable biomaterials, tissue encapsulation and perfusion culture are discussed. Major consideration is given to scaffold structures of biomaterials that define a three-dimensional shape of a tissue or guide matrix formation. The different goals of tissue engineering such as in vitro models and transplant production are taken into account in the described techniques. Practical concepts comprising cell multiplication and differentiation in subsequent steps for future clinical applications are outlined.

      Chondrocyte expansion in vitro is associated with cell de-differentiation recognizable by changes in morphology, gene expression and biochemical and functional properties (Lefebvre et al., 1990; Kaps et al., 2006). Redifferentiation towards a chondrogenic phenotype can be achieved by three-dimensional (3D) cultivation of chondrocytes, which provides an environment for cell redifferentiation and formation of cartilaginous extracellular matrix (Sittinger et al., 1996; Hutmacher et al., 2004). To characterize the process of chondrocyte dedifferentiation and, most importantly redifferentiation, biomarkers are necessary.
