Human Developmental Chondrogenesis as a Basis for Engineering Chondrocytes from Pluripotent Stem Cells
1 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Joint injury and osteoarthritis affect millions of people worldwide, but attempts to generate articular cartilage using adult stem/progenitor cells have been unsuccessful. We hypothesized that recapitulation of the human developmental chondrogenic program using pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) may represent a superior approach for cartilage restoration. Using laser-capture microdissection followed by microarray...
