Metaplasia of Chondrocytes into Osteoblasts
Hypertrophic chondrocytes, commonly considered as terminal cells responsible for apoptotic elimination in endochondral osteogenesis, have the potential to switch their metabolic role and enter osteoblastic differentiation, based on histochemical, immunohistochemical, biochemical and cytological analysis.

In Vivo Chondrocyte Mechanics [PDF]
Mechanical loading of joints deforms articular cartilage cells, and that these cells provide the signals for maintaining cartilage health. Excessive loading of cartilage and cells leads to cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis.Recently, we developed a novel in vivo testing system that allows for quantification of the mechano-biology of chondrocytes

Mechanical confinement regulates cartilage matrix formation by chondrocytes
Cartilage tissue equivalents formed from hydrogels containing chondrocytes could provide a solution for replacing damaged cartilage. Previous approaches have often utilized elastic hydrogels.

SOX9 governs differentiation stage-specific gene expression in growth plate chondrocytes via direct concomitant transactivation and repression. [PDF]
Cartilage and endochondral bone development require SOX9 activity to regulate chondrogenesis, chondrocyte proliferation, and transition to a non-mitotic hypertrophic state.

The n-acetyl phenylalanine glucosamine derivative attenuates the inflammatory/catabolic environment in a chondrocyte-synoviocyte co-culture system [PDF]
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease, still lacks a true disease-modifying therapy. The involvement of the NF-κB pathway and its upstream activating kinases in OA pathogenesis has been recognized for many years.

Rat chondrocytes isolated from the articular–epiphyseal cartilage complex were transplanted into defects prepared in articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Transplants were taken for examination after 3 and 8 wk.

Objective: To study the adverse effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on chondrocytes and the role of autophagy in this process. Methods: Chondrocytes were harvested from the human articular cartilage tissues in surgery.
