Static compression of articular cartilage can reduce solute diffusivity and partitioning: implications for the chondrocyte biological response

Chondrocytes depend upon solute transport within the avascular extracellular matrix of adult articular cartilage for many of their biological activities. Alterations to bioactive solute transport may, therefore, represent a mechanism by which cartilage compression is transduced into cellular metabol...
