## Abstract Transplantation of chondrocytes by injection or within carrier matrices has shown promise for augmenting the repair of articular cartilage defects. __In vivo__, transplanted chondrocytes are exposed to mechanical forces. This __in vitro__ study examined the effect of a step application
## Abstract Intermittent compressive (IC) forces (96 mm Hg, 0.3 Hz) inhibit by 35β60% the serum stimulated increase in ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC) in chick embryo epiphyseal cartilage cells and rat chondrosarcoma cells. IC had no effect on mouse fibroblast Lβcells ODC. The doseβresponse
## Abstract We investigated the effects of exerciseβinduced loading on the collagen network of equine articular cartilage. Collagen fibril architecture at a site (1) subjected to intermittent highβintensity loading was compared with that of an adjacent site (2) sustaining continuous lowβlevel load.
