Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the changes in patterns of gene expression exhibited by human chondrocytes as they dedifferentiate into fibroblastic cells in culture in order to better understand the mechanisms that control this process and its relationship to the phenotypic changes that occur in chondrocytes during the development of osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: Human fetal epiphyseal chondrocytes (HFCs) were cultured...
