Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To uncover the mechanism by which hypoxia enhances cartilage matrix synthesis by human articular chondrocytes. METHODS: The hypoxic response was investigated by exposing normal (nonarthritic) human articular chondrocyte cultures to 20% oxygen and 1% oxygen. Induction of the differentiated phenotype was confirmed at the gene and protein levels. In its first reported application in human articular...
