Enhanced Chondrogenic Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Low Oxygen Environment Micropellet Cultures
Chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is typically induced when they are condensed into a single aggregate and exposed to transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Hypoxia, like aggregation and TGF-β delivery, may be crucial for complete chondrogenesis. However, the pellet dimensions and assoc...
