This study addresses the effects of cell density and serum on CD95 (APO-1/Fas) and CD95L (Fas Ligand) expression and on the induction of CD95-dependent apoptosis in human articular chondrocytes from normal knees. Subsets of articular chondrocytes in first passage monolayer culture expressed CD95 and

## Abstract ## Objective To deliver and overexpress the __hsp70__ gene in cultured chondrocytes to investigate its effect on nitric oxide (NO)–induced apoptosis of chondrocytes. ## Methods Primary chondrocyte cultures were established from rabbit joints. The cells were transduced with an empty a
## Abstract Chondrocyte apoptosis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Transglutaminase 2 (TG2), the expression of which is higher in osteoarthritis patients, has been shown to be up‐regulated during apoptosis in many experimental models. This study investigated the expression
