Abstract
The transforming growth factors β1 (TGF-β1) and TGF-β2, as two distinct homodimers of TGF-β superfamily, involve in chondrocyte growth and differentiation. Emerging evidence has implied that strontium (Sr) plays an important role in the bone formation and resorption, and has strong effects on stimulating human cartilage matrix formation in vitro. However, the direct effects of Sr on TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 expressions in chondrocytes are not entirely...
