The objectives of this study were to establish a growth factor response profile for adult human articular chondrocytes, to determine whether this is unique for chondrocytes or influenced by the differentiation status of the cells, and to characterize growth factor interactions. It is shown that tran

## Abstract Rabbit chondrocytes from pooled articular joints have been delineated by their time of attachment of culture flasks after initiation of primary monolayer culture, either attached (48‐AT) or floating (48‐F) after 48 hours. A general population of chrondrocytes (attached after 72 hours, 7
Transforming growth factor P (TGFP) is a family of important regulators of chondrocyte growth and differentiation. Although TGFP has been detected in cartilage, the TGFj3 isoform5 expressed by chondrocytes and their regulation by growth factors are unknown. This study shows that human articular chon
## Abstract Oncostatin M (OSM) stimulates cartilage degradation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by inducing matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases (ADAMTS; a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif). Transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β1) induces cartilage repair in jo
