Fig. 3From: Cyclic mechanical strain with high-tensile triggers autophagy in growth plate chondrocytesCTS had no effect on apoptosis and necrosis of GPCs. GPCs were subjected to CTS at 5500 με for 0.5 h, 2 h and 6 h. The percentage of apoptotic or necrotic chondrocytes was measured using Cell-Quest software. A Representative flow cytometry diagram. B The proportion of apoptotic chondrocytes. C The proportion of necrotic chondrocytes. Error bars represent standard deviations. n = 3Back to article page
