Chondrocyte proliferation in a new culture system [PDF]
AbstractObjective: This study has aimed to study different culture systems that might stimulate an increase in cell proliferation of normal and osteoarthritis chondrocytes from articular cartilage in rat model.Material and Methods: Three culture systems using chondrocytes embedded in alginate beads were tested: chondrocytes cultured in Dulbecco's ...

Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Cocultured with Chondrocytes Promote the Proliferation of Chondrocytes [PDF]
Articular cartilage injury and defect caused by trauma and chronic osteoarthritis vascularity are very common, while the repair of injured cartilage remains a great challenge due to its limited healing capacity. Stem cell-based tissue engineering provides a promising treatment option for injured articular cartilage because of the cells potential for ...

miR-29b inhibits TGF-β1-induced cell proliferation in articular chondrocytes
Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is a known regulator of chondrocyte proliferation and promotes cartilage repair in osteoarthritis (OA). microRNA-29b-3p (miR-29b-3p) is downregulated by TGF-β1 and overexpressed in OA cartilage. However, the ability

Smad4 regulates growth plate matrix production and chondrocyte polarity
Smad4 is an intracellular effector of the TGFβ family that has been implicated in Myhre syndrome, a skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, brachydactyly and stiff joints.
