Stem-Cell Derived Chondrocytes
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) or adult stem cells are found in small numbers in most adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat. Adult stem cells create only similar types of cells. For instance, MSCs could give rise to chondrocytes to form cartilage. The picture shows MSC-derived chrondrocytes in green and the cell nucleus in blue.
