The effect of TGF-β1 and β-estradiol on glycosaminoglycan and type II collagen distribution in articular chondrocyte cultures

Articular cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in regulating chondrocyte functions via cell—matrix interaction, cytoskeletal organization and integrin‐mediated signaling. Factors such as interleukins, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) and in...
