Prolonged application of high fluid shear to chondrocytes recapitulates gene expression profiles associated with osteoarthritis.

<h4>Background</h4>Excessive mechanical loading of articular cartilage producing hydrostatic stress, tensile strain and fluid flow leads to irreversible cartilage erosion and osteoarthritic (OA) disease. Since application of high fluid shear to chondrocytes recapitulates some of the earm...
