Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Articular chondrocytes proliferate in monolayer culture, but the expression of the transcription factor SOX9 falls and the ability of the cells to reform cartilage tissue declines. We have investigated whether retroviral SOX9 expression in extensively passaged human articular chondrocytes from osteoarthritic (OA) joints enables the cells to regain a cartilage matrix forming phenotype in pellet...
