Human Fetal Chondrocytes are primary cells originating from normal human articular cartilage and play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the cartilage extracellular matrix. When cultured in a monolayer on a solid surface, these chondrocytes tend to lose their characteristic markers and transform into a fibroblast-like phenotype, undergoing de-differentiation. This de-differentiation process can be effectively reversed by culturing the cells in a semi-solid gel. The clonal growth of these chondrocytes is significantly stimulated by human insulin-like growth factors I and II (IGF I, IGF II), but not by growth hormone or insulin.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
Human Fetal Chondrocytes have found diverse applications as an in vitro model system in numerous studies focusing on cellular mechanisms, including inflammation-related signaling cascades, abnormal proteinase production, chondrocyte apoptosis, differentiation, and potential treatments for arthritic disease. These cells are crucial for studying various aspects of the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix, cartilage, and collagen, as well as signal transduction, apoptosis, differentiation, drug screening, gene expression, cytokine production, agarose assays, chondrocyte adhesion to medical implants, and the development of scaffolds for cartilage regeneration.
