## Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the capacity for selfβrenewal and can form bone, fat, and cartilage. Alginate forms a viscous solution when dissolved in 0.9% saline and gels on contact with divalent cations. The viability and phenotype maintenance of chondrocytes in alginate beads ha

## Abstract ## Objective Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising candidate cells for cartilage tissue engineering. Expression of cartilage hypertrophy markers (e.g., type X collagen) by MSCs undergoing chondrogenesis raises concern for a tissue engineering application for MSCs, because hypertr
## Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells derived from human bone marrow (hBMβMSCs) can differentiate into chondrogenic cells for the potential treatment of injured articular cartilage. To evaluate agarose gels as a supportive material for chondrogenesis of hBMβMSCs, this study examined chondrogenesis of
## Abstract Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been extensively characterized with respect to their in vitro expansion and differentiation potential, especially with respect to osteogenesis. Dexamethasone (Dex) is a wellβknown inducer of osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, but little is known
