Plasma-Derived Fibronectin Stimulates Chondrogenic Differentiation of Human Subchondral Cortico-Spongious Progenitor Cells in Late-Stage Osteoarthritis

Migration and chondrogenesis of human subchondral cortico-spongious progenitor cells (SPCs) are the key steps in the repair of microfracture-induced articular cartilage defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of human plasma-derived fibronectin (Fn) on the chondrogenic differentiat...
