Abstract :
Background: Cell-based treatment approach using differentiated
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and mature chondrocytes
has been considered as an advanced treatment for cartilage repair.
We investigated the differentiated level of these two cell
types that is crucial for their repair capacity for cartilage defect
at a co-culture micro mass system
