Critical attributes of human early mesenchymal stromal cell-laden microcarrier constructs for improved chondrogenic differentiation

Abstract Background Microcarrier cultures which are useful for producing large cell numbers can act as scaffolds to create stem cell-laden microcarrier constructs for cartilage tissue engineering. However, the critical attributes required to achieve efficient chondrogenic differentiation for such co...
