Why are oxygen levels in osteoarthritis studies important?
14 Sept 2026Explore how physiological oxygen levels influence chondrocyte function, cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis research. This application note from The Baker Company examines the role of hypoxia, HIF-1 and TGF-β signaling, and explains why maintaining physiologically relevant oxygen conditions (typically around 2–5% O₂ in vitro) can help support biologically relevant chondrocyte behavior.
The application note also introduces the SCI-tive range of physiological oxygen workstations, designed to mimic in vivo conditions and provide researchers with a protected, controlled environment for cell culture studies.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
