Hypoxic Conditions during Expansion Culture Prime Human Mesenchymal Stromal Precursor Cells for Chondrogenic Differentiation in Three-Dimensional Cultures
Cell-based approaches using mesenchymal stromal precursor cells (MSCs) for the regeneration of intervertebral discs are attracting increased interest, even though the intervertebral disc is a very demanding environment. Implanted cells eventually face acidic pH, hypoxia, and a lack of nutrients. Whi...
