Modified methods for efficiently differentiating human embryonic stem cells into chondrocyte-like cells
Journal Title: Advances in Hygiene and Experimental Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 71, Issue
Abstract
Human articular cartilage has a poor regenerative capacity. This often results in the serious joint disease- osteoarthritis (OA) that is characterized by cartilage degradation. An inability to self-repair provided extensive studies on AC regeneration. The cell-based cartilage tissue engineering is a promising approach for cartilage regeneration. So far, numerous cell types have been reported to show chondrogenic potential, among others human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).
