Abstract excerpt
Effectively directing the chondrogenesis of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to engineer articular cartilage represents an important challenge in ADSC-based articular cartilage tissue engineering. The discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) has been shown to affect cartilage homeostasis; however, little is known about the roles of DDR1 in ADSC chondrogenesis. In this study, we used the three-dimensional culture...
