Hydrostatic pressure acts to stabilise a chondrogenic phenotype in porcine joint tissue derived stem cells

Hydrostatic pressure (HP) is a key component of the in vivo joint environment and has been shown to enhance chondrogenesis of stem cells. The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction between HP and TGF-β3 on both the initiation and maintenance of a chondrogenic phenotype for joint...
