Figure 1 Biochemical effects of bone on cartilage. Human knee subchondral osteoblasts were isolated form healthy donors (n=14) and OA patients (n=16). Osteoblast culture supernatants were subsequently tested on both healthy and osteoarthritic cartilage and changes in proteoglycan (PG) synthesis were studied (mean % change are given).
