Limited Immunogenicity of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cartilages

Abstract excerpt

Articular cartilage damage does not spontaneously heal and could ultimately result in a loss of joint function. Damaged cartilage can be repaired with cell/tissue sources that are transplanted, however, autologous chondrocytes are limited in number as a cell source. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a relatively new and abundant cell source and can be made from the patient, but at a considerable cost....
