A mixed co-culture of mesenchymal stem cells and transgenic chondrocytes in alginate hydrogel for cartilage tissue engineering.
Cartilage degeneration remains one of the challenging problems for clinicians worldwide due to the avascular nature and limited self-regeneration capacity of the cartilage tissue. In stem cell based therapy, stem cells are reprogrammed into chondrocytic cells under defined induction recipe, which ca...
