Purpose : Proliferative chondrocytes and prehypertrophic chondrocytes secrete significant amounts of type II collagen in an extracellular matrix. In contrast, hypertrophic chondrocytes secrete type X collagen. In addition, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) also appear to play an important role during differentiation. Accordingly, the current study identified and characterized the chondrocytes and FGFR mRNA expressed... |
