Early induction of a prechondrogenic population allows efficient generation of stable chondrocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells
25 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Regeneration of human cartilage is inherently inefficient; an abundant autologous source, such as human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), is therefore attractive for engineering cartilage. We report a growth factor-based protocol for differentiating hiPSCs into articular-like chondrocytes (hiChondrocytes) within 2 weeks, with an overall efficiency >90%. The hiChondrocytes are stable and comparable to adult...
