Effect of CarMa source (fetal cartilage vs. adult), cell density and IHH on collagen content (a), ALP activity (b), GAG (c), Col X (d), and AGC protein expression (e) of the encapsulated hMSCs incubated in chondrogenic medium. Groups included 100 million cells/mL hMSCs in f-CarMa hydrogel with (f-100-IHH, solid black) or without (f-100, dashed black) IHH in the culture medium, 15 million cells/mL hMSCs in f-CarMa with (f-15-IHH, solid dark grey) or without (f-15, dashed dark grey) IHH, 100 million cells/mL hMSCs in a-CarMa with (a-100-IHH, solid medium grey) or without (a-100, dashed medium grey) IHH, and 15 million cells/mL hMSCs in a-CarMa with (a-15-IHH, solid light grey) or without (a-15, dashed light grey) IHH. An asterisk (*) indicates a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the test group and all other groups for a given time point.
