The invention relates to the use of a silanised hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) or silanised hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) hydrogel, self-crosslinking as a function of pH, for the three-dimensional ex vivo culture of chondrocytes.

Use of a hydrogel for the culture of chondrocytes

A phosphocalcic compound modified by a gem-bisphosphonic acid or one of its salts, a method for preparing same, as well as its use for preparing an injectable composition. The modified phosphocalcic compound is obtained by adding a gem-bisphosphonic acid or one of its alkali metal or alkaline earth salts to a suspension of a precursor phosphocalcic compound in ultras-pure water, while stirring the reaction medium at room temperature, then in recovering by centrifuging the formed compound. The compound is useful for making an injectable composition, for use in the treatment of bone remodeling equilibrium.

A composition and method for producing interconnective macroporous, resorbable and injectable calcium phosphate-based cements (MICPCs). The composition of the invention sets to poorly crystalline apatitic calcium phosphate after mixing a powder component and an aqueous solution. The multiphasic calcium phosphate components in the cement resorb at different rates allowing the timely replacement by new bone. The interconnected macroporosity in the cement allows for vascularization, entrapment of growth factors, cell colonization and tissue ingrowth. This MICPC can be used for dental and medical applications relating to bone repair, augmentation, reconstruction, regeneration, and osteoporosis treatment, and also for drug delivery, and as scaffolds for tissue engineering.
