Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects of the Knee With Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation. MedGenMed 2(2), 2000 [formerly published in Medscape Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine eJournal 4(2), 2000].

UAB Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Associate Professor Amit Momaya, M.D., published a study evaluating if similar inflammatory gene patterns exist between the synovium, hyaline cartilage, and blood ...
