Fig. 3 Gene expression of hip chondrocytes in different in vitro stages, 2D, monolayer cultivation, Sim, transport simulation; 3D, hydrogel-based cultivation, COL1, collagen 1; COL2, collagen 2; ACAN; IL-1β. Box plots indicate 25%/75% borders with the dots indicating outliers. The data were statistically analyzed by One-way ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis One-way ANOVA on ranks. P-values <0.05 were considered significant (for details see Method section).

Fig. 4 Expression of chondrogenic marker genes (COLI, COLII and ACAN) and IL-1β normalized to GAPDH after 2D and 3D cultivation from acetabular and femoral donor site; 2D, monolayer cultivation; 3D, hydrogel-based cultivation; COL1, collagen 1; COL2, collagen 2; ACAN; IL-1β; GAPDH. The data were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test. P-values <0.05 were considered significant.
