Effects of biomechanical stress on chondrocyte ECM expressionWe presume that biomechanical stress could induce the matrix degradation and decrease the matrix synthesis. as pointed out above, Chondrocytes were encountered with pre optimized magnitudes of CTS; The expression levels of COL2A1 and aggrecan were certainly downregulated, Whereas the expression levels of MMP1 and MMP13 were increasingly […]
