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.
