Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the growth patterns and differentiation of human septal chondrocyte monolayers of different seeding densities. STUDY DESIGN: Chondrocytes from 8 donors were plated at densities ranging from 20,000 cells/cm(2) (high density) to 300 cells/cm(2) (very low density). Confluency, cellularity, and glycosaminoglycan content were determined from days 1 to 15. RESULTS: Confluency was attained at 5.8,...
