Investigating conversion of endplate chondrocytes induced by intermittent cyclic mechanical unconfined compression in three-dimensional cultures

<p>Mechanical stimulation is known to regulate the calcification of endplate chondrocytes. The ANK protein has a strong influence on anti-calcification by transports intracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) to the extracellular. It is known that TGF-β1 is able to induced <em>Ank</e...
