Evaluation of metabolomic changes as a biomarker of chondrogenic differentiation in 3D-cultured human mesenchymal stem cells using proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the metabolomic changes in 3D-cultured human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in alginate beads, so as to identify biomarkers during chondrogenesis using (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS:hMSCs (2×10(6) cells/mL)...
