The effect of DECM expansion on cell proliferation of chondrocytes. Passage 1 chondrocytes were seeded at 3,000 cells/cm2 on the standard TCPS or DECM substrates. (A) The cell morphology of chondrocytes cultured on TCPS or DECM was observed over a 7-day culture. Scale bar = 50 μm. (B) Chondrocyte proliferation on TCPS and DECM was evaluated by CCK-8 assays at separate time points of days 1, 3, 5, and 7. Values are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. of eight independent experiments (n = 8). Statistically significant differences are indicated by * p < 0.05 or ** p < 0.01 between the indicated groups.
