text: After 4 weeks, the transduced chondrocytes already showed a 100-fold increase in type II collagen; at 8 weeks, there was already a greater amount of articular cartilage covering the lesion, and the histological scores were improved compared with the controls.73 van Beuningen et al. have investigated other growth factors and concluded that, in vitro, biosynthesis of PG chondrocytes is stimulated by molecules associated with BMP-2 and TGF-β1 and that, in vivo, these factors also influence PG metabolism in hyaline cartilage.74
