Percent apposition under cLIUS The length of chondral interfaces in the cartilage and osteochondral explants (n = 6 per sample per group per time point) were measured by ImageJ and the percent apposition (closed gaps) was calculated as follows: (length of closed interface/total length of interface) *100. Graph represents the percent apposition in non-cLIUS-treated and cLIUS-stimulated explants in the presence or absence of IL-6 or TNFα in osteochondral explants on day 14 and 28 of culture. Data represents a mean ± standard deviation. Statistically significant differences are indicated by p-values and non-significant differences are indicated as n.s
