## Abstract ## Background: The aim of this study was to investigate by flow cytometry cellular viability and apoptosis of human chondrocytes isolated from osteoarthritic cartilage and to correlate replicative senescence with apoptosis of these cells. ## Methods: To understand the mechanisms unde
Normal somatic cells divide only a limited number of times reaching a state known as replicative senescence. This restraint in reproductive potential has been proposed as a mechanism evolved in higher eukaryotes to protect the organism from developing cancer. However, despite this protection there i
