PromoCell HCH are routinely tested for their capacity to differentiate in 3D spheroids
This product can be used in the following applications. Osteoarthritis research, Joint research, Physiology studies, Chondrocyte differentiation experiments, Hyaline cartilage investigations.
The articular cartilage covers the joints between bones and contains no blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, or nerve fibers. It is composed of only one specialized cell type, the chondrocytes, which produce and maintain the extracellular matrix of cartilage, i.e. collagen (mostly type II) and proteoglycans (primarily aggrecan).
