The formation of human auricular cartilage from microtic tissue: An in vivo study.

Objectives: This study aimed to isolate, culture-expand and characterize the chondrocytes isolated from microtic cartilage and evaluate its potential as a cell source for ear cartilage reconstruction. Specific attention was to construct the auricular cartilage tissue by using fibrin as scaffold.

Study Design: Cell culture experiment with the use of microtic chondrocytes.
