- Abstract
Progenitor cells in mesenchymal tissues are important in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and regeneration capacity. Articular cartilage is a tissue with a very low capacity for repair. One explanation could be the lack of chondrogenic progenitor cells within the adult tissue. As a test of chondrogenic differentiation potential, we examined the ability of isolated chondrocytes to take on several phenotypic identities within the mesenchymal lineage by applying culture techniques and markers used in the study of the phenotypic plasticity of marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
