Prolonged exposure of human chondrocytes to ascorbic acid modifies cellular behavior in an agarose gel.

Abstract excerpt

Using an agarose gel culture system, the response of adult human chondrocytes to prolonged exposure of ascorbic acid was evaluated using histochemical, immunocytochemical and morphological techniques. The response of these cells to ascorbic acid was different from those previously reported in the literature. Many chondrocytes branched within the agarose gel with continued exposure to ascorbic acid while other...
