Abstract excerpt
Human adipose derived adult stem (hADAS) cells have the ability to differentiate into a chondrogenic phenotype in three-dimensional culture and media containing dexamethasone and TGF-beta. The current study examined the potential of a genetically engineered elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) to promote the chondrocytic differentiation of hADAS cells without exogenous chondrogenic supplements. hADAS cells were...
