文摘1 Introduction Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)are multipotential stem cells which can be expanded in culture while still maintaining their undifferentiated state.They have the potential to differentiate into distinct mesenchymal tissue cells,including chondrocytes.Thus,they are an attrac2 tive cell source for cartilage ti ssue engineering.In vitro high density micromass culture has been widely used for chondrogenesis induction.The objective of our study was to analyze viability and differentiation of hMSC in micro2 mass cultures.
