Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a composition for regenerating cartilage or treating a cartilage disease containing a monovalent metal salt of alginic acid for which the endotoxin level thereof has been lowered to an extent that does not substantially induce inflammation or fever. As a result, it is possible to provide a composition for regenerating cartilage that improves cartilage regenerative action and ease of application to a cartilage injury lesion, and a composition for treating a cartilage disease, which has the effects of protecting cartilage from mechanical irritation, inhibiting degenerative changes in cartilage caused by wear and inflammation, repairing a cartilage injury lesion, and inhibiting inflammation and pain of joint tissue.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for regenerating hyaline cartilage comprising: applying a composition comprising a low endotoxin monovalent metal salt of alginic acid and at least one type of cell selected from the group consisting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells to a cartilage injury lesion; and curing the surface of the composition and thereby regenerating hyaline cartilage, wherein the composition has a viscosity of 400 mPa…
