Alterations in extracellular matrix (ECM) properties\u2014including mechanical loading, stiffness and viscoelasticity, topological organization, and surface chemistry\u2014regulate hypertrophic differentiation and matrix degradation in a zone-, stage-, and scale-dependent manner. Microscale measurements often reveal localized stiffening in superficial zones during early OA, whereas bulk tissue testing can show softening or heterogeneous changes in deeper zones or advanced stages, highlighting the context-dependent nature of ECM mechanics. These biophysical signals are sensed by integrin-based adhesion complexes, primary cilia, mechanosensitive ion channels (TRP\/Piezo), and the actin cytoskeleton\u2013nucleus continuum, and are transduced into intracellular pathways with zone- and stage-specific effects, governing chondrocyte fate under physiological and osteoarthritic conditions. Mechanism-based anti-hypertrophic strategies include biomimetic scaffold design for focal defects, dynamic mechanical stimulation targeting early OA, and multimodal approaches integrating mechanical cues with biochemical factors, gene modulation, drug delivery, or cell-based therapies. Collectively, this review provides an integrated mechanobiological framework for understanding cartilage degeneration and highlights emerging opportunities for disease-modifying interventions targeting chondrocyte hypertrophy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27020624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T09:01:29Z","timestamp":1767862889000},"page":"624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Molecular Mechanisms of Chondrocyte Hypertrophy Mediated by Physical Cues and Therapeutic Strategies in Osteoarthritis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5528-9490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guang-Zhen","family":"Jin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Tissue Regeneration Engineering, Dankook University, Cheonan 31116, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"224","DOI":"10.1186\/ar2592","article-title":"Cartilage homeostasis in health and rheumatic diseases","volume":"11","author":"Goldring","year":"2009","journal-title":"Arthritis Res.
