Chondrogenic Differentiation of Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells

Chondrogenic Differentiation of Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) contraction associated with chondrogenesis is attributed to the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA). In this study, pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and MSCs were compared for cartilage histogensis. Both cell types expressed alpha-SMA in monola...
