## Abstract To investigate the efficacies and the longevity of RNA interference in nucleus pulposus cells from rat and human, two reporter luciferase plasmids (__Firefly__ and __Renilla__) were used. These plasmids were cotransfected with siRNA targeting __Firefly__ luciferase to the nucleus pulpos
## Abstract In this study a three step culture system, 2Dโ3D sequential culture __in vitro__ and further implantation __in vivo__ was developed to induce human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) into cartilage like tissues. Fiveโdayโold embryoid bodies were plated for chondrogenic induction for 27 days (
