Calcium Regulates Cyclic Compression-induced Early Changes In Chondrocytes During In Vitro Tissue Formation

A single application of cyclic compression to bioengineered cartilage improves tissue formation through cell shape changes that are mediated by α5β1 integrin and membrane-type metalloprotease (MT1-MMP). To determine if this response is controlled by calcium, we investigated how calcium regulated cel...
