Cartilage formation by single cell versus μPellet encapsulation after 21 days of culture in chondrogenic medium, as shown by Safranin O staining. Single cell encapsulation generally resulted in more cartilage formation than their respective μPellet group in the same hydrogel composition. For single cell encapsulation, PEG/CS resulted in most intense and interconnected cartilage matrix staining. Red: sGAG, Black: nuclei, scale bar = 500 μm. Color images are available online.
