Basic fibroblast growth factor is a potent mitogen for chondrocytes and influences the protein synthesis of their extracellular matrix in vitro. To investigate its effect on normal developing articular cartilage in vivo, we injected basic fibroblast growth factor once into the knee joints of 4-week-
We report effects of adding insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and methionyl human growth hormone (GH), alone or in combination, to adult bovine articular chondrocytes plated at high density. Purified human and synthetic IGF-I stimulated chondrocyte DNA and proteoglycan synthesis. GH had no effect
