Researchers from Peking University describe findings in tissue engineering

Published in Blood Weekly, November 6th, 2008

According to a study from Beijing, People's Republic of China, "Chondrogenic potential of human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) makes them a possible source of seeding cells for cartilage tissue engineering. We aim to examine the chondrogenic differentiation of human transforming growth factor beta 2 (hTGF beta 2) transduced hASCs seeded in three-dimensional scaffold ill vitro and ill vivo."

"In this study, hASCs were isolated from human subcutaneous adipose tissue and transduced with a replication deficient adenovirus carrying hTGF beta 2 (Ad5-hTGF beta 2), and then the transduced cells were seeded and cultured in PLGA/alginate compounds. RT-PCR analysis revealed...
