Abstract excerpt
Numerous in vitro culture models have been developed for the investigation of chondrocyte and cartilage biology. In this study, we investigated the stability of the chondrocytic phenotype in monolayer, aggregate, pellet, and explant culture models and assessed the effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) and serum supplementation on the phenotype in each model. Phenotypic effects were...
