Osteoarthritis and Cartilage , 06/26/09
Felka T et al. - Inflammatory processes inhibit the chondrogenic differentiation of MSC. This may lessen the regenerative potential of MSC in situ. Thus, for the cell therapy of IDs using MSC to be effective it will be necessary to manage the inflammatory conditions in situ. In contrast, hypoxic conditions exert beneficial effects on chondrogenesis and phenotype stability of transplanted MSC, and may improve the quality of the generated ECM.
