Engineered human meniscus' matrix-forming phenotype is unaffected by low strain dynamic compression under hypoxic conditions.

Low oxygen and mechanical loading may play roles in regulating the fibrocartilaginous phenotype of the human inner meniscus, but their combination in engineered tissues remains unstudied. Here, we investigated how continuous low oxygen ("hypoxia") combined with dynamic compression would af...
