Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels are markedly increased in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. However, the effects of IL-6 on proliferation and proteoglycan metabolism in articular cartilage are not known. We demonstrated here the effects of human recombinant (hr)

It can be postulated that among the factors implicated in cartilaginous lesions, oxygen-derived free radicals seem to have a prominent part. To investigate this hypothesis, rabbit articular chondrocyte cultures have been exposed to oxygenderived reactive species generated by the hypoxanthine-xanthin
## 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
