From: Osmolarity influences chondrocyte repair after injury in human articular cartilage
Effect of different primary solutions on cell death in superficial and deep zone. In the human articular cartilage mechanical injury model (a) saline (superficial zone); (b) balanced salt (superficial zone); the percentage of cell death in balanced salt and saline solutions (c) superficial zone; and (d) deep zone (n = 6 for each solution; t tests for superficial zone: P = 0.001; deep zone: P = 0.24).
