text: Our culture conditions combining a scaffold-free 3D culture with a more physiological environment that favors the phenotype of the chondrocytes and enables the deposition of a matrix resembling hyaline cartilage can lead to a neotissue with improved functionality; this might ameliorate the ability of the implant to integrate into the surrounding tissue in the cartilage defect and to resist the highly loaded environment of the knee.22 Another approach to ameliorate the properties of engineered cartilage constructs is the use of mechanical stimulation or specific growth factors29 and it would be of great interest to evaluate their benefit in combination with physiological oxygen and osmolarity levels.
