Abstract excerpt
Cartilage cells are normally studied under atmospheric pressure conditions and without loading. However, since cartilage exists in a condition of reduced oxygen and intermittent hydrostatic pressure we hypothesized lower partial oxygen pressures (PO2) and different intermittent hydrostatic pressures (IHP) would increase articular chondrocyte proliferation and matrix production and to stabilize chondrocyte...
