Study Overview
Cartilage is found in the joints between bones.
It plays a vital role in moving the body.
Chondrocytes are cartilage cells.
In this test, we will culture chondrocytes in three dimensions.
We will test how your sample effects three-dimensionally cultured rabbit chondrocytes.
We will test whether hyaluronic acid and other mucopolysaccharides are produced from the chondrocytes.
