Mesenchymal stem cell-mediated endochondral ossification utilising micropellets and brief chondrogenic priming

With limited autologous and donor bone graft availability, there is an increasing need for alternative graft substitutes. We have previously shown that chondrogenically priming mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) pellets for 28 d in vitro will reproducibly result in endochondral bone formation after in vivo...
