Physiological normoxia and chondrogenic potential of chondrocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2011 Cartilage is poorly vascularised with a limited capacity for repair following damage. The poor vascularisation results in cartilage tissue having a low normoxic value. This study examined and compared the effects of physiological cartilage normoxia (2% O2), hypoxia (0.2% O2), and hyperoxia (21% O2) on human articular chondrocytes (hAC) during similar ...
