The Role of Chondrocyte Morphology and Volume in Controlling Phenotype—Implications for Osteoarthritis, Cartilage Repair, and Cartilage Engineering

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Articular chondrocytes are exclusively responsible for the turnover of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of hyaline cartilage. However, chondrocytes are phenotypically unstable and, if they de-differentiate into hypertrophic or fibroblastic forms, will produce a defective and weak ma...
