Figure 12: Tissue differentiation diagram showing data from the current study for cells in the RZ under 15% compression of the original growth plate thickness for a 6-mm thick growth plate, along with data from a previous study on cells in the proliferative (P) and hypertrophic (H) zones in a 0.67-mm thick growth plate model subjected to 20% compression. Cell 1 represents a cell at the SB/RZ interface and Cell 3 is a RZ chondrocyte at the border of the PZ. P is a cell at the top of the proliferative zone and H is a cell at the bottom of the hypertrophic zone. |
