CDs rescued the destructive effect of IL-1β on chondrocyte proliferation and viability. A CCK8 assay indicated CDs could alleviate the impact of IL-1β on chondrocyte proliferation. B EdU staining showed CDs rescued the decreased cell viability of IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes. Scar bar: 40 μm. C Statistical analysis results of three independent EdU assay experiments by one-way ANOVA method. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
