Fig 1. Cellular interaction.

Fig 1

Cells were encapsulated in alginate beads separately and alginate and pellet co-cultures (A, control conditions). Furthermore, hMSCs and bACs were co-cultured in (B) a Transwell® system as well as in (C) medium conditioned by the other cell type, to further understand the complex cellular communication pathways between hMSCs and bACs. In purple: hMSCs = human Mesenchymal Stem Cells; in green: bACs = bovine Articular Chondrocytes.
