## Abstract Migration of chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be important in cartilage development, tissue response to injury, and in tissue engineering. This study analyzed growth factors and cytokines for their ability to induce migration of human articular chondrocytes and bone ma
## Abstract Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reside under hypoxic conditions in vivo, between 4% and 7% oxygen. Differentiation of MSCs under hypoxic conditions results in inhibited osteogenesis, while chondrogenesis is unaffected. The reasons for these results may be associated with the inheren
## Abstract Availability of human chondrocytes is a major limiting factor regarding drug discovery projects and tissue replacement therapies. As an alternative human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) from bone marrow are taken into consideration as they can differentiate along the chondrogenic lineage
