Although tissue engineering of articular cartilage is a promising approach for cartilage repair, it has been difficult to develop cartilaginous tissue in vitro that mimics the properties of native cartilage. Isolated chondrocytes grown in culture typically do not accumulate enough extracellular matrix, and the generated tissue possesses only a fraction of the mechanical properties of native cartilage. One potential explanation for this might be that the cells are grown in an environment that lacks the mechanical stimuli to which the chondrocytes are exposed in vivo. In this study, we compared the long-term effects of both dynamic compressive and shearing forces on cartilaginous tissue formation in vitro.
