Patient-Derived Skeletal Dysplasia Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Display Abnormal Chondrogenic Marker Expression and Regulation by BMP2 and TGFβ1
21 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Skeletal dysplasias (SDs) are caused by abnormal chondrogenesis during cartilage growth plate differentiation. To study early stages of aberrant cartilage formation in vitro, we generated the first induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from fibroblasts of an SD patient with a lethal form of metatropic dysplasia, caused by a dominant mutation (I604M) in the calcium channel gene TRPV4. When micromasses were grown...
