Mechanical stimulation of articular cartilage is known to be es sential for chondrogenesis. In our study we use animal cartilage-bone explants from the femur condylus, which were divided into three experimental groups (loaded, unloaded and controls). Loading was pe rformed in a sterile and physiological environment based on DME-medium. Cell morphology and cell vitality was observed by histological techniques. The knowledge gathered from the mecha nical in-vitro study is now used to produce a structured artificial matrix resembling nati ve cartilage in biochemical composition, biomechanical properties and zonal tissue structure. The art ificial matrix is then seeded with chondrocytes and loaded with the same parameters we found t o be ideal for tissue regeneration. Analysis is performed using histological and immuno-histological m ethods.
