Abstract excerpt
Chondrocytes, the only cell type present in articular cartilage, regulate tissue homeostasis by a fine balance of metabolism that includes both anabolic and catabolic activities. Therefore, the biology of chondrocytes is critical for understanding cartilage metabolism. One major limitation when studying primary chondrocytes in culture is their loss of phenotype. To overcome this hurdle, limited attempts have been...
