From: The matrix-forming phenotype of cultured human meniscus cells is enhanced after culture with fibroblast growth factor 2 and is further stimulated by hypoxia

Figure 3

Collagen expression in monolayer and cell aggregate cultures, and in meniscus tissue with SOX9 expression (n = 3). Gene expression levels for monolayer cells (light grey bars) between P2 and P3 in standard medium (n = 3) and for cell aggregate (dark grey bars) cultures in chondrogenic differentiation medium (n = 3) under low oxygen tension after 14 days in culture. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001 (Student's unpaired t test) in cell aggregates from fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2)-expanded versus non-FGF2-expanded cells.
