Abstract excerpt
It has been documented, on the basis of cell culture experiments, that cytochalasin treatment promotes a round cell shape in chondroblast cultures by altering the cytoskeleton, and that it simultaneously alters the balance between production of type I and type II collagens. The aim in this study...
