Chondrocytes (from Greek chondros cartilage + kytos cell) are the only cells found in cartilage.
They produce and maintain the cartilaginous matrix, which consists mainly of collagen and
proteoglycans.
The MHE Research Foundation would like to thank Craig W. Wiesenhutter, M.D., U.C.L.A.
Rheumatology Pathophysiology of Disease Course for the use of this Chondrocyte animation.
There also other OSTEOARTHRITIS: SLIDES & ANIMATIONS and information contained on this
website http://www.cdaarthritis.com/OA/INDEX.HTM This maybe of interest to people with MHE
as they can develop early on set of osteoarthritis as a secondary complication of their MHE.
