The type of tissue produced by periosteal explants can be tuned by combining mechanical stimulation and soluble factors. TGF-β1 stimulated a chondrocyte phenotype and sliding indentation stimulated collagen synthesis. Such a combination may be valuable for improvement of the quality of tissue-engineered cartilage.
