Chondrogenesis differentiation of CSPCs. (a) After incubation in chondrogenic medium for 1 month, the cells formed primmorphs that looked like cartilage. (b, c) Primmorphs were observed after alcian blue staining. (d) The comparison of PCR assays. The above one was detected before being induced and the below one was detected after being induced. Obviously, the expression of corresponding genes receded after being induced.
