Fig. 4. Chondrogenesis of bone marrow derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in tissue engineered constructs.

A. Chondrogenic differentiation of hMSC in monolayer culture supplemented with 10ng/ml TGFβ3 demonstrating chondrogenic potential of hMSC (CS=Chondrogenic Supplements). B. DAPI staining of tissue engineered construct seeded with hMSC after 14days of culture. C. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) of hMSC cultured in thermosensitive chitosan with or without TGFβ3 loaded PLGA microspheres after 14 days. TGFβ3 from PLGA microspheres induced chondrogenesis in engineered constructs indicated by increased GAG content.
