Recombinant Extracellular Matrix Protein Fragments Support Human Embryonic Stem Cell Chondrogenesis
27 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
We previously developed a 14-day culture protocol under potentially GMP, chemically defined conditions, to generate chondroprogenitors from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). In vivo work has confirmed the cartilage repair capacity of these cells in a nude rat osteochondral defect model. Aiming to enhance hESC-chondrogenesis, we screened a range of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules for their ability to...
