Here, we set out to determine the growth factors (bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β1)) and oxygen tension effects during chondrogenesis of human UCB-MSCs for cartilage engineering. Chondrogenic differentiation was induced using 3D cultures in type I/...
A new approach involves the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have a high potential for chondrocyte differentiation and thus cell-based treatment of cartilage defects. MSCs were first identified in bone marrow [10] and have since been isolated from a variety of other tissues in ...
