Effect of oxygen tension on chondrocyte extracellular matrix accumulation.
Since cartilage is mainly an avascular tissue, chondrocytes exist in a low-level oxygen environment in vivo. In the present study, we investigated the effect of oxygen tension (20%, 5% and 1% gas phase oxygen concentrations) over a 20-day period on the extracellular matrix accumulation of bovine art...
