Current protocols for chondrocyte isolation are inconsistent, resulting in suboptimal cell yield and compromised cell quality. Thus, there is a need for an improved isolation protocol that is able to give a maximum yield with optimal cell viability while preserving the chondrocyte phenotype. In ligh...
