Telomerase Activity in Articular Chondrocytes Is Lost after Puberty.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Focal cartilage lesions in the knee joint have limited capacity to heal. Current animal experiments show that incisions of the deep zone of a cartilage allograft allow acceptable integration for the graft. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES:We performed this clinical study to determine (1) if the multiply incised cartilage...
