This study examined how alternating electric fields affect the redifferentiation of human chondrocytes from male and female donors. Stimulation at 15–20 V/m increased the Col2/Col1 ratio and promoted rounded morphology, indicating enhanced redifferentiation. Meanwhile, female chondrocytes showed more collagen 1 production and fibroblast-like shape. These results suggest male chondrocytes showed higher tendency towards redifferentiation in response to electrical stimulation. %L 570 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00005205 %U https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005205 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00005205-6 %U https://d-nb.info/1394543700/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005205
