Mechanical stimulation promotes the proliferation and the cartilage phenotype of mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes co-cultured in vitro

Mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes are an important source of the cells for cartilage tissue engineering. Therefore, the culture and expansion methods of these cells need to be improved to overcome the aging of chondrocytes and induced chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. The...
