| Abstract | Articular cartilage lines the surfaces of joints and functions to absorb shock and distribute load. To date, few strategies exist for restoring damaged articular surfaces; therefore, cartilage tissue engineering (TE) has emerged as a means to generate functional replacement tissues. To optimize growth and maturation of TE constructs, various methodologies have been employed, including 3D culture, coupled with mechanical stimulation [1] and growth factor supplementation [2]. Recently, studies have shown that temporal application of TGF-β3 enhances the compressive properties and GAG content of chondrocyte-laden hydrogels to near-native levels after the removal of this morphogen [3, 4]. However, as chondrocytes may prove impractical for clinical use, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been increasingly utilized in cartilage TE. While MSCs are able to undergo chondrogenesis and deposit cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM), they have not demonstrated functional parity with chondrocytes [5]. One recent study showed MSCs were able to maintain a chondrocytic phenotype after brief exposure of TGF-β3, though mechanical and biochemical properties were not assessed [6]. In this study, we evaluated these properties in chondrocyte- and MSC-laden hydrogels with transient exposure of TGF-β3 in a chemically defined medium. In addition, we explored the effects of varying seeding density in MSC-laden constructs on functional properties. We hypothesized that transient application of TGF-β3 would improve functional properties of MSC-laden constructs in a seeding density-dependent manner, and that these changes would be marked by differences in cartilaginous gene expression, particularly of enzymes involved in proteoglycan synthesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
