| Abstract | The reconstruction of extensive tracheal defects is still an unsolved challenge for thoracic surgery. Tissue engineering is a promising possibility to solve this problem through the generation of an autologous tracheal replacement from patients’ own tissue. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of three different coculture systems, combining human respiratory epithelial cells and human chondrocytes. The coculture systems were analyzed by histological staining with alcian blue, immunohistochemical staining with the antibodies, 34betaE12 and CD44v6, and scanning electron microscopy. The first composite culture consisted of human respiratory epithelial cells seeded on human high-density chondrocyte pellets. For the second system, we used native articular cartilage chips as base for the respiratory epithelial cells. The third system consisted of a collagen membrane, seeded with respiratory epithelial cells and human chondrocytes onto different sides of the membrane, which achieved the most promising results. In combination with an air–liquid interface system and fibroblast-conditioned medium, an extended epithelial multilayer with differentiated epithelial cells could be generated. Our results suggest that at least three factors are necessary for the development towards a tracheal replacement: (1) a basal lamina equivalent, consisting of collagen fibers for cell–cell interaction and cell polarization, (2) extracellular factors of mesenchymal fibroblasts, and (3) the presence of an air–liquid interface system for proliferation and differentiation of the epithelial cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
