(C) TEM images of chondrocytes showing mitochondrial ultrastructure in each group, with high-magnification views (bottom panels) indicating cristae integrity and membrane morphology. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3); ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001, ∗∗P < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: For immunohistochemistry, primary antibodies were COL2A1 (HUABIO, HA722733, 1:1000), SOX9 (Proteintech, 68350-1-Ig, 1:500), MMP3 (Servicebio, GB11132, 1:500), and ADAMTS1 (Affinity, DF13268, 1:100); sections were incubated with HRP-conjugated polymer secondary antibodies (Affinity, S0001), developed with DAB (Servicebio, G1212), and counterstained with hematoxylin.
