## Abstract Fibroblast growth factorβ2 and parathyroid hormone are strong modulators of the maturation process of chondrocytes during endochondral ossification. To clarify whether and how these agents may exert stageβspecific effects during this process, we analyzed the responsiveness and phenotypi
The effects of incubation and addition of growth factors to a chondrocyte-seeded collagen implant for cartilage repair were studied. Type I collagen matrices seeded with lapine articular chondrocytes and unseeded controls cultured in the presence and absence of fibroblast growth factor and insulin f
## Abstract Growth plate chondrocytes exist in a hypoxic environment where it is recognized that hypoxiaβinducible factorβ1Ξ± (HIFβ1Ξ±) is essential for their survival. Its regulation of chondrocyte viability may be mediated by the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and
## Objective: The ability of growth factors to modulate integrin expression may be important with regard to processes involved in tissue repair and remodeling. this study was undertaken to determine the effect of transforming growth factor beta (tgf beta) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (igf-1) on
