Cartilage diseases and, in particular, osteoarthritis (OA) have been widely
correlated to apoptosis, 1 but recently chondroptosis, a type of death with peculiar
features typical of cartilage cells, has been reported. 2 Chondrocyte death is here
investigate in a human experimental model. Cell death has been induced in
chondrocyte micromasses 3,4 from 1 to 3 week with hyperthermia for 1 h at 43°C
followed by 4 h recovery, UV-B for 30 min followed by 4 h recovery, 500 nM
staurosporine for 24 h 5 all well known apoptotic triggers
