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...
