Molecular analysis of chondrocytes cultured in agarose in response to dynamic compression
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Articular cartilage is exposed to high mechanical loads under normal physiological conditions and articular chondrocytes regulate the composition of cartilaginous matrix, in response to mechanical signals. However, the intracellular...
