2. Figure 1. Chondrocyte proliferation in DMEM 10% FBS (Basal) and DMEM 0% + 10% PRPr according to cell count (a), protein count (b) and cell activity measured with alamarBlue (c). Cell counts were 0.3–2.6 times bigger in PRPr-supplemented medium. Similar trends were found in protein counts and cell activity measurements. *p-value < 0.05, **p-value < 0.01.

3. Figure 2. Inflammatory response of chondrocytes after 48 h of co-estimulation with IL-1B and PRPr. Optical microscopy (a) shows the recovery of basal morphology under the effect of PRPr. Pro-inflammatory gene markers (b) were downregulated by 60–80% on average in knee CH, with top reductions of 95–99% for iNOS and MMP-13. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. ***p-value <
