Characterization of human adipose-derived stem cells and expression of chondrogenic genes during induction of cartilage differentiation

OBJECTIVES: Understanding the changes in chondrogenic gene expression that are involved in the differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells to chondrogenic cells is important prior to using this approach for cartilage repair. The aims of the study were to characterize human adipose-derived st...
