Chondrogenesis is the process by which cartilage is developed. ref MeshName Chondrogenesis ref Cartilage in fetal development In embryogenesis , the skeletal system is derived from the germ layer Mesoderm mesoderm germ layer. Chondrification also known as chondrogenesis is the process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue, which differentiates into chondrocytes and begins secreting the molecules that form the extracellular matrix. Early in fetal development, the greater part of the skeleton is cartilaginous. This temporary cartilage is gradually replaced by bone Endochondral ossification , a process that ends at puberty. In contrast, the cartilage in the joints remains unossified during the whole of life and is, therefore, permanent . Mineralization Adult hyaline articular cartilage is progressively mineralization biology mineralized at the junction between cartilage and bone. It is then termed articular calcified cartilage . A mineralization front advances through the base of the hyaline articular cartilage at a rate dependent on cartilage load and shear stress. Intermittent variations in the rate of advance and mineral deposition density of the mineralizing front, lead to multiple tidemarks in the articular calcified cartilage. Adult articular calcified cartilage is penetrated by vascular buds, and new bone produced in the vascular space in a process similar to endochondral ossification at the physis . A cement line demarcates articular calcified cartilage from subchondral bone. Repair Once articular cartilage damage damaged , cartilage has limited repair capabilities. Because chondrocytes are bound in Lacuna histology lacunae , they cannot migrate to damaged areas. Also, because hyaline cartilage does not have a blood supply, the deposition of new matrix is slow. Damaged hyaline cartilage is usually replaced by fibrocartilage scar tissue.

Autologous Matrix Induced Chondrogenesis AMIC is a biological treatment option which repairs articular cartilage damage . It combines microfracture surgery with the application of a bi layer collagen I III membrane. AMIC achieves pain relief and restores functionality in the joint with the goal to regain full mobility, allowing going back to previous lifestyle and activity level. It slows down cartilage degeneration with the intent to avoid or delay partial or total joint replacement e.g. knee replacement surgery.

It consists of two separate layers an outer fibrous layer and inner chondrogenesis chondrogenic layer. The fibrous layer contains fibroblasts , which produce collagenous fibers . The chondrogenic layer remains undifferentiated and can form chondroblasts or chondrocytes . Perichondrium can be found around the perimeter of elastic cartilage and hyaline cartilage . Fibrocartilage and articular cartilage both lack perichondrium. Perichondrium is a type of Irregular Collagenous Ordinary Connective Tissue, and also functions in the growth and repair of cartilage.

In vitro , CTGF mirrors some of the effects of TGF beta on skin fibroblasts , such as stimulation of extracellular matrix production, chemotaxis , cell growth proliferation and integrin expression. CTGF can promote endothelial cell growth, migration, adhesion and survival and is thus implicated in endothelial cell function and angiogenesis ref Brigstock DR 2002 Regulation of angiogenesis and endothelial cell function by connective tissue growth factor CTGF and cysteine rich 61 CYR61 .

It is not as hard and rigid as bone but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle . Cartilage is composed of specialized cells called chondroblast s that produce a large amount of extracellular matrix composed of Type II collagen except fibrocartilage which also contains type I collagen fibers, abundant ground substance rich in proteoglycan , and elastin fibers. Chondroblasts that get caught in the matrix are called chondrocyte s. They lie in spaces called lacunae with up to eight chondrocytes per lacuna. Cartilage is classified in three types, elastic cartilage , hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage , which differ in the relative amounts of these three main components. Unlike other connective tissues, cartilage does not contain blood vessels. Because of this, it heals very slowly. The chondrocytes are supplied by diffusion, helped by the pumping action generated by compression of the articular cartilage or flexion of the elastic cartilage. Thus, compared to other connective tissues, cartilage grows and repairs more slowly.
