INTRODUCTION: Calcium sulfate pellets have been used successfully as a synthetic bone graft for treatment of contained bone defects at sites without substantial compressive loads [1]. There are many bone defects, notably subcondral and vertebral, where calcium sulfate with increased compressive strength would be beneficial. A new, modified calcium sulfate with a different crystalline structure ...

Coculture of chondrocytes and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in pellets has been shown to be beneficial in engineering cartilage tissue in vitro. In these cultures trophic effects of MSCs increase the proliferation and matrix deposition of chondrocytes. Thus, large cartilage constructs can be made with a relatively small number of chondrocytes. In this chapter, we describe the methods for mak...
