Figure 3From: Comparison of growth factor adsorbed scaffold and conventional scaffold with growth factor supplemented media for primary human articular chondrocyte 3D cultureCartilage-specific extracellular matrix production in monolayer cultures and gelatin scaffolds. Human articular chondrocytes were cultured on scaffolds for 21 days and then digested with papain. The papain digests were assayed for cartilage extracellular matrix components including HA (A), s-GAG (B), collagen (C) and uronic acid (D) content. *, # p-values are < 0.05; **, ## p-values are < 0.01; * is a significant amount compared to the PBS control; # is a significant amount compared to the soluble control.Back to article page
