Abstract
For redifferentiation of dedifferentiated HACs, 3D cultures exhibit the most potent chondrogenic potential, whereas a hypertrophic phenotype is best achieved in 2D cultures. This is the first human study that systematically evaluates the differences between proliferation, GAG content, protein expression and mRNA expression of commonly used 2D and 3D chondrocyte culture techniques.
