Autologous and Allogeneic Cytotherapies for Large Knee (Osteo)Chondral Defects: Manufacturing Process Benchmarking and Parallel Functional Qualification

Sandra Jaccoud, Corinne Scaletta, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Robin Martin, Salim Elias Darwiche, Cédric Peneveyre, Annick Jeannerat, Alexis Laurent

Cytotherapies are often necessary for the management of symptomatic large knee (osteo)-chondral defects. While autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has been clinically used for 30 years, allogeneic cells (clinical-grade FE002 primary chondroprogenitor ...

Development of Standardized Fetal Progenitor Cell Therapy for Cartilage Regenerative Medicine: Industrial Transposition and Preliminary Safety in Xenogeneic Transplantation

Dominique Pioletti, Sandra Jaccoud, Corinne Scaletta, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Salim Elias Darwiche, Alexis Laurent

Diverse cell therapy approaches constitute prime developmental prospects for managing acute or degenerative cartilaginous tissue affections, synergistically complementing specific surgical solutions. Bone marrow stimulation (i.e., microfracture) remains a ...

The role of energy dissipation of polymeric scaffolds in the mechanobiological modulation of chondrogenic expression

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Ulrike Kettenberger, Salim Elias Darwiche

Mechanical stimulation has been proposed to induce chondrogenesis in cell-seeded scaffold. However, the effects of mechanical stimuli on engineered cartilage may vary substantially between different scaffolds. This advocates for the need to identify an ove ...

Epiphyseal Chondro-Progenitor Cell Therapy For Articular Cartilage Regeneration

Salim Elias Darwiche

Articular cartilage regeneration poses particularly tough challenges for implementing cell-based therapies. Many cell types have been investigated looking for a balanced combination of responsiveness and stability, yet techniques are still far from definin ...
