a

Collagen species not specified.

b

Denotes incorporation of the protein into the scaffold. All other entries indicate the addition of the growth factor to culture medium; nonessential amino acids, ascorbic acid, and dexamethasone were considered standard chondrogenic medium components and were not factored in for growth factor supplementation.

GAG, glycosaminoglycan; PEG, poly(ethylene glycol); MMPs, matrix metalloproteinase–sensitive peptides; PVAMA, poly-(vinyl alcohol)-methacrylate; CSMA, chondroitin sulfate-methacrylate; PEGDA, poly(ethylene glycol)-diacrylate; ECCs, P19 embryonal carcinoma cells; FGF-2, fibroblast growth factor-2.
