Articular chondrocytes derived from distinct tissue zones differentially respond to in vitro oscillatory tensile loading.
Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2008; (10): 1228-36
The cell morphology, gene expression, and matrix synthesis of articular chondrocytes are known to vary with depth from the tissue surface. The objective of this study was to investigate if chondrocytes from different zones respond to in vitro oscillatory tensile loading in distinct ways and whether tensile strain, which is most prevalent near the articular surface, would preferentially stimulate superficial zone chondrocytes.
