Abstract[English]
The invention relates to methods of preparing an implant for bone repair, the method comprising the steps of expanding periosteum derived cells, mixing the expanded periosteum derived cells with a partially cross-linked sodium alginate solution, forming the alginate solution and the cells into a shaped construct, differentiating the cells in the shaped construct towards chondrogenic differentiation, and dissolving crosslinked alginate with a calcium chelating agent.[French]
L'invention concerne des procédés de préparation d'un implant pour la réparation osseuse, le procédé comprenant les étapes consistant à expanser des cellules dérivées de périoste, à mélanger les cellules dérivées de périoste expansées avec une solution d'alginate de sodium partiellement réticulée, à former la solution d'alginate et les cellules dans une construction façonnée, à différencier les cellules dans la construction façonnée vers une différenciation chondrogénique, et à dissoudre de l'alginate réticulé avec un agent chélatant le calcium.
