The Morphology and Functions of Articular Chondrocytes on a Honeycomb-Patterned Surface

Figure 4

Graphs show (a) the expressions (relative to that of GAPDH) of collagen type 2 (Coll 2) and Aggrecan (Agg) after 1 and 14 days of culture on either the honeycomb (CH) or the flat (FF) films. Normalised to their day 1 values, (b) shows the temporal changes to their expression levels at days 3, 7, and 14, in terms of percentage difference. Data represents mean and standard deviations of 12 discs per sampled time point.
