Effects of Medium and Temperature on Cellular Responses in the Superficial Zone of Hypo-Osmotically Challenged Articular Cartilage

Osmotic loading of articular cartilage has been used to study cell-tissue interactions and mechanisms in chondrocyte volume regulation <em>in situ</em>. Since cell volume changes are likely to affect cell’s mechanotransduction, it is important to understand how environmen...
