How can you use “chondrocyte” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

We found that CDDO inhibited the expression of these enzymes in a chondrocyte cell line, human primary chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts.
We found the expression of p107 mRNA and Bmp-4 mRNA to be decreased, which, if reflected in reduced protein levels, would be consistent with the phenotype of delayed cartilage maturation in Hox transgenic animals: As Bmp-4 was shown to have a positive effect on hypertrophy and inhibitory effect on proliferation [ 37 38 ] , decreased Bmp-4 expression would be expected to promote chondrocyte proliferation.
( ii ) There is increased recruitment of precursor cells into the chondrocyte cell lineage.
The structural rigidity of rib cartilage is greatly compromised, fatally interfering with pulmonary function, and vertebral cartilage is so weak that the skeleton often disassembles during skeletal preparation [ 1 ] . These results suggest that Hoxc-8 continues to regulate skeletal development well beyond pattern formation in a tissue-specific manner, presumably by controlling the progression of cells along the chondrocyte differentiation pathway.
A possible physiologic consequence of IL-1β-induced tenascin expression is that it may promote chondrocyte migration towards the sites of lesions in OA [ 47].
