Is Continuous Treatment with Transforming Growth Factor-Beta Necessary to Induce Chondrogenic Differentiation in Mesenchymal Stem Cells?
29 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
This study was conducted to determine whether short-term administration of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta would be as effective for inducing chondrogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as continuous treatment. Four groups of hMSCs were cultured in a monolayer for 3 days followed by a pellet culture for 3 weeks under various conditions: group A, the control group, no growth factors treated; group...
