Differential effects of dexamethasone on the chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stromal cells: Influence of microenvironment, tissue origin and growth factor
nchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which reside within various tissues, are utilized in the engineering of cartilage tissue. Dexamethasone (DEX) – a synthetic glucocorticoid – is almost invariably applied to potentiate the growth-factor-induced chondrogenesis of MSCs in vitro, albeit that this effect has...
