Fig. 5From: Type II collagen and glycosaminoglycan expression induction in primary human chondrocyte by TGF-β1Attachment of chondrocytes to rabbit cartilage. a TG-C cells were detected in the cartilage which has an artificial defect on the surface. TG-C cells were labeled with fluorescent markers [CM-DiI (red color) labeled hChonJ and CM-DiO (green color) labeled irradiated hChonJb#7] and were analyzed with an image analyzer (LAS-4000, FujiFilm). b The number of cells attached to a cartilage defect was calculated by subtracting the non-adherent cells (collected from the culture media) from the initial number 2 × 106Back to article page
