  1. One hundred and seven genes associated with skeletal development and extracellular matrix formation were found differentially expressed in chondrocytes obtained from normal donors cultured in monolayer (baseline) and scaffolds. The expression patterns of these genes were compared with those of differentiating osteoarthritic (OA) chondrocytes to assess the chondrogenic capacity of these cells. Only genes are presented that belong to the shown functional categories. For the complete list see Additional data file 2. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001.
