Platelet lysate induces chondrogenic differentiation of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Abstract Purpose Articular cartilage has a poor capacity for self-repair, and thus still presents a major challenge in orthopedics. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with the potential to differentiate into chondrocytes in the presence of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β...
