Periodic mild heat stimuli diminish extracellular matrix synthesis in pellet cultured human chondrocytes

Abstract Objective This study aimed to clarify the effects of periodic mild heat stimuli on extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis of adult human chondrocytes in 3-dimensional pellet culture. Results Human articular chondrocytes were subjected to pellet culture at 37 °C for 3 days. Thereafter, the pel...
