The cartilage had continuously increased metabolic activity, when treated with sprifermin/FGF18 compared to vehicle. During days 7-28 PIIBNP was decreased and NITEGE was increased, and during days 35-70 PIIBNP was increased. At end of culture, the cartilage had sustained proteoglycan content and relative expression of ACAN less then COL2A1 less then SOX9 less then COL1A1, indicating that functional chondrocytes remained in the explants.
