Molecular analysis of gene expression in epiphyseal and diaphyseal populations cultured as 3D pellets. Pellets (2.5 × 105 cells per pellet) were cultured in basal medium for 21 days prior to analysis of osteochondral genes including RUNX2 a, ALP b, COL1A1 c, ON d, COL10A1 e, SOX9 f and COL2A1 g. Error bars are SD. * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01 (foetal samples, n = 3; 55, 56 and 63 days post conception)
