Abstract excerpt
In stem cell-based chondrogenesis for articular cartilage regeneration, TGF-β3 is dosed to the stem cells to drive differentiation into chondrocytic cells. Meanwhile, type I collagen, which is endogenously expressed in some stem cells (e.g., synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cells) and upregulated by TGF-β3, poses a threat to chondrogenesis, as type I collagen may alter the components and stiffness of articular...
