Maintenance and Acceleration of Pericellular Matrix Formation within 3D Cartilage Cell Culture Models

Owida, Hamza A.; Kuiper, Nicola L.; Yang, Ying

Abstract

In native articular cartilage, chondrocytes are surrounded by a thin pericellular matrix (PCM) forming chondrons. The PCM is exclusively rich in type VI collagen. The retention of the PCM has a significant influence on the metabolic activity of the chondrocytes.
