## 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 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
There are increasing reports that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are present in various tissues other than bone marrow, including synovium. Here we investigated the optimal conditions for in vitro chondrogenesis of human synovium-derived MSCs and compared these cells with bone marrow-derived MSCs, es
