Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Chondrocytes frequently de-differentiate in two-dimensional (2D) culture, especially in the presence of serum. To examine the role of lysyl oxidase (LOX) induced cross-linking in this phenomenon, the effect of the specific LOX inhibitor beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) was studied in 2D chondrocyte culture. DESIGN: Chick embryo sternal chondrocytes (both proliferative and hypertrophic, from caudal and...
